Yamaha SGV800 — Blue Sparkle — Excellent Condition

Up for sale is a Yamaha SGV800 in the eye-catching Blue Sparkle finish — a neo-retro reissue of Yamaha's classic 1960s SG-5/SG-7 "Flying Samurai" design, built in Taiwan and long discontinued, making clean examples like this one increasingly hard to find.

Specs:

  • Alder body, bolt-on maple neck with rosewood fretboard
  • 22 frets, 9.5" radius, 24.75" scale length
  • Distinctive "samurai" headstock shape
  • Two Alnico V single-coil (soap-bar style) pickups
  • 3-way pickup selector (Neck / Neck+Bridge / Bridge), separate front & rear volume, master tone
  • Original Yamaha roller-type vibrato/tremolo with sealed ball-bearing fulcrum for smooth, stable arm action
  • Sperzel locking tuners for excellent tuning stability
  • Chrome hardware throughout

Condition:
Excellent overall — light handling wear consistent with careful use, no structural issues, electronics and hardware all functioning as they should. The sparkle finish still has great depth and shimmer under light. Plays smoothly with low action and stays in tune well thanks to the locking tuners.

Included: [gig bag / hard case — add whichever you have]

A genuinely unique-looking and unique-sounding guitar — the offset surf-guitar body and hot-but-versatile pickups make it equally at home for surf/twang tones or pushed into grittier territory. You won't see many of these in the wild.
