I need help from Yamaha SG/SBG experts!

[KightTemplar]

I saw an used, almost vintage-white Yamaha SG200 (or seems like it) today and tried it. It is in near-mint condition, and sounds good. Also, it is neck through. But what bugs me is that the headstock has no Yamaha written on it, just the artwork. Thus I thought it was a fake. But the tuning pegs clearly says "Yamaha JApan", and the back of headstock reads MAde in Taiwan and the serial number starts with letters "LK". So I think it still is the real thing despite the lack of brand name on the headstock.

In case, is it a real Yamaha? And were some others lack the logo on headstock as this one? And why is that?

The asking price is about USD200.

And I heard that the Taiwan made SG200 has agathis body instead of Mahogany, correct?

 

MAny thanks!

I thought that the 200 was a bolt neck. The 700 and 1000 were set necks, and the 2000 and 3000 were neck through.

Didn't Wader have one of those?

I thought so. But it is neck through defenitely. If I get it I will post pics.

 

By the way I supposse it is SG200 because it looks the same with those posted in HC. There's no model name/number anywhere on the guitar.

 

I need more inputs people! Please!
