Yamaha SG1000 (1976, Tobacco Sunburst)On offer a rare 1976 Vintage Yamaha SG-1000 in Tobacco Sunburst finish, Generally we still see quite a few 1980’s SG1000 kicking about, but the 1970’s become ever rarer, especially the 1st issue examples. The SG-1000 is the more rocky brother of the acclaimed Yamaha SG-2000 that was developed in the 1970s, but without the thru neck or sustain block, and it sports less of the fancy mother of pearl fret marker inlays and binding purfling; the guitar handles and balances well and plays like a dream, light and fluid, and has been set up with lovely low action. The guitar is a solid built and quality oozing instrument with a set neck and ebony fret-board. Frets are good. The serial number 1077 consists of 4 digits only and is embossed in the top of the head stock, unlike the later versions that had "made in Japan "and a six-digit serial number starting with "00"The guitar is in very good condition although it is 40 years old, there are almost no body marks, or any play wear which is remarkable for a vintage guitar. Comes with hard case. Location Berwick upon Tweed.Weight of guitar approx. 4.2 Kgs, neck width at nut approx. 4.4 cm
