Description

Introducing the YAMAHA SG1000.

The SG1000 is one of the best-known models in Yamaha's SG lineup, a series that has earned a strong following among guitarists in Japan and internationally.

This example features a striking Red Sunburst finish complemented by gold hardware.

The combination gives the guitar a distinctive, substantial appearance, while the decorative detailing on the metal components adds to its classic styling.

Even after many years, the SG1000 retains a visual character that sets it apart from more conventional electric guitar designs.

The body features mahogany and maple construction, paired with a mahogany neck and set-neck joint.

Although the guitar has a substantial appearance and weight, its body incorporates a rear contour designed to fit more comfortably against the player's body.

The double-cutaway design also provides convenient access to the upper frets.

These details make the SG1000 more than simply an impressive-looking instrument, reflecting Yamaha's attention to practical playability.

Another notable feature is its push-push coil-tap system.

The guitar features two volume controls and two tone controls, with push-push switching incorporated into the tone controls.

This allows the player to switch between the full humbucker configuration and coil-tapped sounds, providing additional tonal options without changing instruments.

Combined with the pickup selector, this arrangement gives the SG1000 a versatile control layout while retaining its traditional double-humbucker character.

The guitar weighs 4.45kg, giving it a substantial feel that matches its solid construction and distinctive appearance.

Regarding its condition, this instrument shows noticeable signs of previous use.

Scratches, scuffs, and dents are present across the body top, sides, back, neck, and headstock.

The metal hardware also shows tarnishing and discoloration from age.

In addition, some areas of the finish exhibit cloudy or milky discoloration, a type of aging sometimes seen on older guitar finishes.

These cosmetic issues are visible and should be taken into consideration, particularly by buyers looking for a cleaner example.

However, the Red Sunburst finish and gold hardware retain the distinctive appearance associated with the SG1000.

Approximately 60% of the frets remain.

The string action measures approximately 1.5mm on the 1st-string side and 2.0mm on the 6th-string side at the 12th fret.

Please note that the pickguard is missing.

With its mahogany and maple body construction, set mahogany neck, double-cutaway design, and push-push coil-tap controls, the SG1000 represents an interesting combination of traditional styling and practical functionality.

This example has clearly been used over the years, but its characteristic Red Sunburst finish, gold hardware, and substantial construction remain prominent.

For players and collectors interested in Yamaha's classic SG series, this SG1000 is worth considering.
