Yamaha SG1000's

[MrBump]

my modified SG500 with 15 -56 strings [for slide] and BK Manhattans :D

That looks VERY tasty, David...

I've never heard of the headstock fall of one.

That's because they put a little duck tail where the neck goes to the headstock. Very clever.

Is it also a multi-piece neck?  Less likely to break than one-piece mahogany.

My 1000 had a three piece neck.

While looking a few people reckoned the woods and' rapid construction ' methods mean they're not the same quality as the originals but i've never come accross a duff yamaha product. period .

Saying that, Yamaha do this process where they vibrate the guitars to get the guitars to have a "played in" feeling. Supposed to work great.

I shipped one at the end of last year that ParcelFarce managed to snap.... (SG2000)

Have an SG3000 on Evil Bay at present and will have a 'players' SG2000 up there shortly - if anyone is interested

I'm going to pick one up tomorrow - an early 80s SG1000.

 :D

Only taken me about 30 years to finally spend the ££s to get one!

Nice one, because of this thread thread I've been playing mine.... and now that strap button is in the right place (for me at least) it's a belter. Even the stock pick ups are awesome, I really hope you enjoy it fella!

Just collected it.

1982 vintage and all original. 

It's got a few knocks and scratches but nothing major.  Pots are a little scratchy, but that's easily fixed.  The truss rod needs a tweak or two to straighten the neck and sort out the action but - again - no biggie.

Just plugged it in (Epi Valve Jr, so no fancy fx or eq) and the sound of it  :o ... what an incredible range of tones, everything from almost-acoustic, through jazzy blues, out to classic rock.

These things fully deserve the reputation ...

Mine has a one piece neck. The 400 is not as fancy as the higher numbers. The top of the range models are neck through.
