Members Surrealistic Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 I pushed the "Buy it now" button on a 1992 Yamaha SG1000 Special Edition last night. Planning on going to check out it's all kosher before handing over the cash but I thought you lovely people might like to see it now. Here's the guitar porn: Once I've got it I'll post some photos of my own and let you know how I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members clay sails Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 Very cool looking guitar. I especially like the non-weenie headstock (something I often dislike about Yamahas). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Surrealistic Posted October 22, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 Just got back from picking it up - haven't had time to take photos yet but I will - and sound clips if I have time. From my brief time checking it out it's every bit as good as I hoped. Sounded wonderful played clean through the PA at the sellers house and I bet it dirties up really nicely too when needed. Yes it does weigh a ton but I can cope with that - especially as it's going to see a lot more studio use than gigging. Paid 760 GBP which seems to be about right for these and I think represents much better value than the Les Paul Studio Premium Plus I was originally looking at for 770 GBP.

Members Deadbeat Son Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 Sweet! Enjoy the new guitar. I assume from the photos these sound more similar to a Les Paul than an SG due to the thick body and maple cap; is that a correct assumption?

Members tech21man Posted October 23, 2010 Members Share Posted October 23, 2010 I'd take that over a gibson sg! It is more like a les paul than SG though. Body, weight, maple cap! Congratulations OP!!! Great guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
