After poking around on Google, I suspect that it's actually a full-hollowbody, rather than a semi... Although it's a little hard to tell with those plastic (feedback-reducing?) baffles covering up the F-holes.

Does anyone else have any further info here? Were all the early SA series (e.g. SA-15. SA-30 etc) full-hollowbody guitars, or semis? If full, when did they make the transition to semi-hollowbodies?

On another note...

n00b question:

Are the pick-ups on the SA-20 likely to be single coils, or humbuckers? Mini-humbuckers, perhaps?

How do you tell?

(The attached ad blurb I found doesn't really give anything away, either about the full versus semi issue, or about the pick-ups)

Just posted a pic on the 'f-holes' thread, so thought I would bump the Yamaholics one as well;

This one's an SAS-1500 - another semi-hollowbody, very pretty in Antique Violin Sunburst. It's on its way from Japan, apparently has a smaller body than the rest of Yammie's SA series line-up.

With an all-mahoghany-body and a maple/spruce centre block, I'm curious to see how the tone and sustain will differ from my larger-bodied maple SA500...

That's my DREAM semi-acoustic! love.gif But since I already have the SA2200, I can't justify that purchase to the family administrator (my wife). Zenbu has also one. Let us know how it is once you get it. thumb.gif

Maple = bright sounding

Mahogany= mellower, rounder sound

I have a Yamaha Silent Guitar and a AES 620HB. Both are really fine guitars!
Hey, they were good enough for Tommy Tedesco to play! thumb.gif
I believe that Yamaha is the most underrated guitar maker around. You really don't hear to much about them, but they are out there and being played!
