Members bodezeffas Posted February 22, 2008 Members Share Posted February 22, 2008 sweet! sell me one!!! I may consider selling some in the future, but it wont be for the ebay prices. These are all so nice that it would be hard to choose which one will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jkater Posted February 22, 2008 Members Share Posted February 22, 2008 What I find a little confusing is the 1996 30th anniversary and the 2004 30th anniversary. Would you explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bodezeffas Posted February 22, 2008 Members Share Posted February 22, 2008 Is about $700-$900 the going rate for the '80s SBG2000's now? For a SG-2000 in good to fair condition I think you are looking at $600-$850. A lucky buy it now may be in the 900-1100 range. The good ones are still $1,200-2,000.

The SBG-1996 is the 30th anniversary of the 1966 model. The SG-2004 is the 30th anniversary of the 1974 Carlos Santana SGs. There are 120 of the 1996 guitars, but only 20 of the Quilt Top amber 2004s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you get around making pics and posting them, you'll make us very happy. Does the Santana one have a bouddah inlay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Santana one have a bouddah inlay? Nope, it is just an Amber Quilt Top with abalone binding that came from his personal collection. I am still looking for a SG175B, but I think my luck with the hard to find ones might have ran out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big Yammy SG fan and I'll have to read through all the posts on this thread later tonight. That's quite a collection there. I would love to get a black SG2000 but it's out of my reach financially. Instead, I console myself with this one. It's my take it to grave guitar. I absolutely stole it on craigslist!

My fav remains the "real thing", that is, the three-piece top on the left. Did you know (what a question...) that Yamaha really did this three piece top as part of the design of the SG 2000? It was not a money saving way of using smaller bits of terrific tone wood. There was something about the direction of the grain. I wish I could remember where I first read about it.

Members RockNote Posted February 23, 2008 Members Share Posted February 23, 2008 ^^^ Very impressive those four! The solid-looking sofa is a good visual match. However, my concern with this guitar design remains how well it hangs. My ideal is the strat - and I am afraid to me it is an ideal I am not willing to stray from. I must have that "angle" (cf. the contours at the back of the body) to allow me an easy overview of the fretboard, just as I must have the perfect balance and stability characterizing the strat. By stability I mean, if you remove both hands from the guitar the guitar must stay put. The strat (or rather the super strat) is the perfect guitar for me in this respect. But in terms of tone, nothing beats an LP or LP-like tone. I tried the SG1000 and was appalled at the way it felt ergonomically. Not only did it fail to honour the criteria above, but it also felt skewed to the left (or forwards), giving the impression that the headstock was somehow far away just as the bridge was similarly out of place being likewise too far forwards. It sounded great even with its ridiculously worn strings, but this kind of design I cannot work with, which I can only deeply regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jkater Posted February 23, 2008 Members Share Posted February 23, 2008 +1...it'll probably get more attention than this super-old thread I give you the full copyright to the suggested title above. It should get the attention from the Gibson folks, the SG army and the people who just wonder what the heck that might be. Then, once it turns out to be a Yamaha thread, it'll be joined by the surprisingly large number of Yamaha afficionados on this forum. As you are new, I might add that you must brace yourself for the occasionnal trolls or douchbags that populate this forum (there are actually only few of them but, like all vandales, their crap takes a lot of room). Do like we do: ignore them. See you in your new thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
