VINTAGE COLLECTIBLE RARE UNDER-THE-RADAR KILLER GUITAR
Yamaha SBG200 SBG-200 SET-NECK SETNECK
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120043998746
Solid Body Electric Guitar
Up for auction is a vintage right-handed Yamaha SBG200 electric guitar
in LIKE NEW condition. This is a Japanese made guitar and it is truly
an example of one of Yamaha's finest electric guitars. THE FINISH IS
TOBACCO SUNBURST. Most of the others are a boring black. This guitar
resembles a Gibson SG and has that Les Paul feel as well. The upper
frets are not a problem with this guitar. Stock pickups are A-OK but I
was going to install Allan Holdsworth by Carvin pickups to jack up the
sound and tonal range but I never did. So this axe remains virgin and
vintage stock. I have seen this model axe go from $225 and up to $400
here on eBay. You decide what it's worth. The pictures here are 100%
representative of my axe. I can send more if you need such.
Some quick history on theses guitars: Yamaha approached Carlos Santana
about making him an SG-type axe and thus many varieties of Yamaha SGs
arrived in the USA. Gibson threaten to sue them over the SG name use so
Yamaha renamed them SBG's so here you have a post "lawsuit" Gibson SG /
Les Paul-ish high-end quality clone in one fine axe.
Other info: Chris Poland of ex-Magadeath fame and currently with OHM
was handed one of these SBG axes years ago and it blew him away after
he had played numerous other famous name and expensive custom axes.
Now, Poland is one mighty fine shredder and emotive jazz rock fusion
axeman that can blend the heavy-hitting blues-rock of Cream, Leslie
West, Robin Trower, Jeff Beck and the fusion fire of the Mahavishnu
Orchestra into one riff. And what axe blew him away? One of these: a
vintage Yamaha SBG. Poland now owns one of the top-of-the-line rare
Yamaha SBGs, a Yamaha SBG1300TS. But this basic balls-to-the-wall type
SBG axe is what converted him to a Yamaha SBG devotee Whether you want
or are looking for a Yamaha SG or SBG the only difference is in the
name on the truss rod cover. Here ya go!
These axes got stellar ratings here:
