If there's a part number for the bar I'll let you know. The only other bar I found that fit is the one from my Steinberger Spirit GU Deluxe which has an R-trem. It's the bottom bar in the photo. The bar on top with the longer shaft if the stock bar for Yamaha bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it would benefit from higher end pickups, but man... very solid guitar. Unbelievable for the blowout price. Dang. I don't mind the stock pickups, but they're a bit hot and touch hard to balance out. Played it at practice for the second time and it was great. I really dig that guitar.

Members Yarbicus Posted January 3, 2012 Members Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yamaha RGX620Z update:Finally had a chance to plug it in and discovered that the bridge pickup is not working. This is not a big surprise; I had one of these years ago and the 3-way switch went out pretty fast. No worries since I plan to make this a platform for upgrades. Thanks to the lovely and talented k_strat, I now have a PDF of the official service manual so ordering new pots and switch was a snap!New question. I am seriously considering putting a Fishman Powerbridge on it. Anyone know if the TSV version (http://www.music123.com/Accessories/...03125.product?). I have quote from Music123 for only $145.60 and am sorely tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GibsonVMan Posted January 8, 2012 Members Share Posted January 8, 2012 Anyone have knowledge on the greenburst RGX Ty Tabor Signature? Japanese made? A local shop has one for $600. Is that a fair price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dmc69 Posted January 11, 2012 Members Share Posted January 11, 2012 Does anyone know what this model is? It looks like an AEX1500, but it's bolt on, and doesn't have a pickguard. I'm looking to buy this too, and what is a fair price for it, described as in excellent condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Weiner_Bomb Posted January 11, 2012 Members Share Posted January 11, 2012 Shamelessly whores his recently acquired 1985 SG1500.. Sold only in Japan at the time according to Yamaha. What do you all use for a case for one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tincob Posted January 11, 2012 Members Share Posted January 11, 2012 Talking about SG1500s, there's a really nice sunburst example on the Denver craigslist http://denver.craigslist.org/msg/2754139818.htmlSomeone should check it out.

Members dmc69 Posted January 12, 2012 Members Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks guys, it's a nightmare trying to track down older Yamaha models. THe seller is asking 350 for it, a bit high comparing to what others on the web have been buying/valuing the guitar for, but I like it. 300 to me sounds nice.
