2000 Yamaha SGV-700 Flying Samurai

2000 Yamaha SGV-700 Flying Samurai

Based heavily on the illustrious design of the Yamaha SG-5A from the 1960s, The SGV-700 is a modern reissue of the classic design, made in Taiwan and sold exclusively in Japan. These are now discontinued so a rare bird indeed! These guitars are always outstanding quality and have fantastic attention to detail, they really capture the essence of the 1960s Flying Samurais and it is certainly difficult to differentiate from the originals.

This one is in exceptionally good condition for it's age, still retaining the plastic on both the pickguard and backplates. Seriously, this thing hasn't been played. Frets have no wear on them and the baby blue finish is wonderfully bright and the guitar plays and functions perfectly. It features it's original Yamaha single coil and humbucker setup with master volume, tone and a super cool humbucker blend knob that allows you to sweep between the coils, as well as a 3 way switch for maximum control. The pickups have a wonderful chime to them with plenty of frequency response. It's been freshly setup with 10-46s and a nice low action. Comes with it's original Yamaha gig bag!
