1981 Yamaha Japan SG-600 Double Cutaway (Black)

1981 Yamaha Japan SG-600 Double Cutaway (Black)Considered by many as an upgrade to the standard Les Paul design, the Yamaha SG series are some of the fullest sounding guitars you'll ever play. This SG 600 was a low range model in the 1981 catalog made to be a budget friendly offering. Weighing in at 3. 9kg's, it's built with a maple agathis body with a slim 60's mahogany set neck and a 22 fret rosewood fretboard (12" radius, 628mm scale length, 43mm nut width). Loaded with the original G II

Made by the Tokai Gakki factory in 1999

Greco branded tuners and a Japanese tremolo system

it's just back from a professional refinish in metallic pink/purple that looks stunning in any light

Made in Japan by the Fujigen factory in 1990

they're made in very limited numbers and with some serious attention to detail

This one's been professionally refinished in "Vintage White" using a soft thin acrylic paint that feels soft like nitro instead of the thick poly shelll that these usually wear

This one came to us with no pickups so we had our tech Vaughan professionally rout it and install a pair of NOS Tokai P90's so it has a much fuller sound than the original low output single coils would have

Loaded with EMG Select pickups controlled by a three-way toggle

AMT V-1 is designed around the specs of the classy UK British VOX* amplifier

a three-way selector with master volume/tone knobs and a fully functional tremolo system

We can guarantee it to be a fully authentic Fender Japan '57 reissue though as we've had hundreds of them come through to compare

the pickguard has been modified to house a body-mounted unbranded zebra humbucker in the neck position
