Up for sale, a 1995 Yamaha Flying Samurai 30th Anniversary Limited Edition model SG-7AS in exceptional, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. Released to commemorate the highest-tier original “Flying Samurai” model, this rare SG-7AS sports a gloss Moss Green finish. The original Flying Samurai guitar was designed in conjunction with Japanese surf guitar legend Takeshi Terauchi, and this unique model’s aesthetics and tone reflect the widespread impact on the surf rock genre in Japan.
Tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck and bound rosewood fretboard, yielding a smooth, balanced natural acoustic tone. The trio of single coil pickups offer bold, sparkling cleans with plenty of meat and roundness, yet clear and defined in every pickup position. The middle and bridge pickup are coupled both visually and tonally, with a blend pot for a smooth gradient between the coils. This SG-7AS weighs 8lbs, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.

The custom color Moss Green gloss finish is very dark, presenting almost as black, and cosmetic wear on this instrument is limited to a scant few minor dings and scratches on the body as a whole, largely relegated to the back and lower bout perimeter. The smooth ambered gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
The original black tolex hardshell case is included, along with the hangtags, which are dated to 95-12-7. One of the latches on the case is not functional.
