Yamaha SG700 (1st issue, 1976, Walnut Brown)

Here on offer a very rare 1st issue, near 40-year old SG700, a great electric guitar made in Japan with great looks, excellent player with a tremendous sound and a good solid feel, It is set up well so it plays light and fluid with a low action and has a lot of mojo and a definite vintage vibe. The guitar has a solid mahogany wood body with carved top, fitted with a set neck, rosewood fretboard with split mother of pearl position markers, clean chrome hardware and tuning pegs. The sound is through 2 high output pickups with coil tapping options for a wide tonal variety.

The guitar's serial number does not start with the usual 00 for guitars made in the period 1976-79, this model has the serial number embossed in the back of the headstock. Neither is the Made in Japan imprint there, however, like the SG175, the early SG2000/1000 the Made in Japan label was missing as all Yamaha SG's were made in Japan at that time. Yamaha SG-700 guitars continue to be produced along with the well known SG2000 and were available in walnut brown and cherry sunburst.
