-----------------------------------

The Yamaha original "SG" series first appeared in the 1960s. Starting with the SG-2/3 and the "Blue Jeans Custom" SG-5/7 around 1966, it evolved into the double-cutaway shape with the SG-30/35 around 1973. The traditional SG shape, which continues to this day, was perfected with the SG-175 in 1974, and has been produced almost continuously as Yamaha's flagship model ever since.

This shipment includes the "SG-800S," an entry-level model manufactured around 1982 after a model change.

【body】
The total weight is approximately 4.25 kg. The body has a maple top and mahogany back. The color is "Metallic Blue," which was a particularly popular color among the 800S models, which often had limited edition colors. There is some damage commensurate with its age, such as scratches, dents, and tarnishing of the metal parts. As is common with many guitars, the pickguard is missing.

【neck】
This guitar features a mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and set-neck joint. Instead of arrow inlays, the fingerboard uses dots, giving it a simple, standard-model look. While there is some damage to the headstock where the wood grain is exposed, there is no significant clouding. The back of the neck has small dents and some paint wear near the higher frets. The tuners function well with consistent tension. The frets and nut show some wear, but there is no extreme buzzing or dead spots, and playability is good. The nut width is approximately 43.1mm. It features a sleek neck shape that is not too thick towards the end.

[Electrical System]
The controls consist of two volume knobs, two tone knobs, and a three-way pickup selector switch. Despite being a lower-end model, it features a bi-sound system on the tone pot. The pickups are two open-type original humbuckers, offering a clear and punchy sound. Combined with the aforementioned bi-sound system, it's a versatile guitar that performs well in a variety of situations.
