Members bodezeffas Posted March 1, 2008 Members Share Posted March 1, 2008 Some folks asked for some nice pictures of my Yamaha SG guitars. Well here they are: YAMAHA SG1996 Limited Edition - 3Oth Anniversary - 1996 * Made in Japan prior to 1996 to celebrate Yamaha's 30th anniversary of their SG guitar. This one is a SBG which would make it even more rare. With only 120 made there are only 30 or so that were sent to the west and labeled with the SBG trussrod cover. This one is serial number 079 and it is in absolutely mint condition. Originally purchased in 1996 as an investment. Never gigged and only rarely been played. Unlike the SG2000 model, this one has a gorgeous two piece flamed top. It also has coil taps and will be supplied with its original leather hard case This baby is in showroom condition. I have only seen one in my life that looks as nice and it sold for about 3k!! YAMAHA SG 2000 - CHERRY SUNBURST - 1984 The ULTIMATE players guitar. These guitars are ridiculously good and from a players point of view match just about anything I have ever played and shames most. The SG 2000 was Yamaha Japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fretmonster Posted March 1, 2008 Members Share Posted March 1, 2008 I always wondered about those. Thanks for posting Bode, you've got some cool guits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Josh S Posted March 1, 2008 Members Share Posted March 1, 2008 Yeah, those are tight - more, more!! That white one is pretty bling'd out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jkater Posted March 1, 2008 Members Share Posted March 1, 2008 Which one is your favorite? Like I've mentionned before, the one I'd pick is the "real thing", that is, the three-piece plain top SG2000. I don't feel the Yamaha SG needs all the bling and abalone,etc. That's not what it's about for me, although Santana's Buddah inlayed SG is a beauty.

Members handen Posted March 1, 2008 Members Share Posted March 1, 2008 I want an SG1300 in Gunmetal Blue, like this: Know where I can find one? And do all of yours have the Push-Push knobs for various sounds? If so, what do each of them do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jkater Posted March 1, 2008 Members Share Posted March 1, 2008 And do all of yours have the Push-Push knobs for various sounds? If so, what do each of them do? Single coil / Humbucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mike003 Posted March 2, 2008 Members Share Posted March 2, 2008 I've always thought those were the best looking solid bodies on the planet. And all of those pics reinforce that belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bodezeffas Posted March 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2008 Which one is your favorite? I like the white SBG-3000 the best. I've had it for over 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bodezeffas Posted March 3, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2008 I have one of those black SBG 3000s. I think the black one is tied with the Santana one in terms of coolness and clean. Though they are separated by 20 years, you couldn't tell by looking at them.

Members aliensporebomb Posted January 15, 2012 Members Share Posted January 15, 2012 Pulling this one up again - I should mention I got to play one of the recent SBG3000 reissues for the american market that was celebrating the anniversary of Yamaha's electric guitar business. What a beauty. I literally got to play it right before its new owner showed up to pick it up and pay for it. Ouch. I think it was #32 out of 40 or something.

Members docjeffrey Posted January 15, 2012 Members Share Posted January 15, 2012 I've been shopping for a high end Yamaha SG literally for years. The prices are discouraging. Even the reissues are $3K and they are not easy to find. Great guitars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members onelife Posted January 16, 2012 Members Share Posted January 16, 2012 Does this count? It is a Yamaha Image Standard - they were also known by the model name MSG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Weiner_Bomb Posted January 16, 2012 Members Share Posted January 16, 2012 I recently got this off ebay. 84 SG1500 MIJ. All I did to it was change out the gold hardware, then later decided to give the frets a full level/crown job. An awesome les paul substitute. Happy to have it. The electronics are all original I belive, no desire to change that stuff out. Sounds awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
