Description Brand: Yamaha Dexterity: Right-Handed Model: SA-15 String Configuration: 6 String Body Type: Hollow Exact Year: 1967 Series: SA Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan
The SA-15 was Yamaha’s second attempt to make inroads into the archtop guitar market. It has been suggested that the modern design was inspired by the Rickenbackers being played by the Beatles, but if so, it is truly a Japanese interpretation. This instrument is in very good, original condition.
The pickups are single coils and have strong output for a guitar of this era. (I CHANGE THE PICKUPS WITH ANOTHER NEWS BECAUSE TE ORGINAL PICKUPS DONT WORK BUT L GIVE YOU THE ORIGINAL PICHUPS IF YOU WANT)
ONE VERYTINY SMALL CRACK DOWN ON THE NECK the see picture
All of these issues are pictured.
