1979 Yamaha SG2000
Serial Number: 004675
Weight: 10lbs 15oz
The Yamaha SG2000, introduced in July 1976, is a legendary electric guitar widely known as the "Les Paul Killer". It was developed through a high-profile collaboration between Yamaha and guitar icon Carlos Santana, who sought a professional instrument with unparalleled sustain and tonal richness.
The SG2000 introduced several patented technologies that set it apart from its American competitors:
• T-Cross System: A neck-through construction where the three-piece maple and mahogany neck runs the entire length of the body. This enhances stability and string vibration transfer.
• Brass Sustain Plate: A heavy brass block embedded directly into the body underneath the bridge. This was Santana’s primary request to achieve his signature "singing" sustain.
• Premium Materials: It featured a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top, an ebony fingerboard, and high-quality gold hardware.
• Tri-Sound Mounting: The Alnico V humbucking pickups used a three-point mounting system for precise height and tilt adjustment.
