Up for sale, a 1980 Yamaha SG1000 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working, complete with the original hardshell case. The little brother of the venerable SG2000 (known as the "Les Paul Killer" for numerous, very good reasons), the SG1000 is a well-crafted, soulful, and powerful-sounding instrument.
Boasting set-neck construction, a carved two-piece maple top, and solid mahogany body, this Yamaha takes Gibson's tried and true tonewood combination and utilizes it to great effect. Yamaha also used a three-piece neck for this model with two pieces of mahogany paired with a central maple section, patented as the T-Cross System. This not only improves the stability of the neck, but also adds to the tonal complexity, with features of both tonewoods evident in the sound. he humbuckers are detailed and punchy with great harmonics, and these pickups feature dedicated push/push coil splits on the Tone pots. Weighing 9lbs 4oz, this SG1000 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
