Yamaha SG1820A Contoured Electric Guitar Silver Burst

Black hardware and parts on the monotone body create a cool look. Equipped with EMG pickups(EMG85 front/EMG81 rear) delivers a hard-edged sound

While preserving the basic structure of Maple Top/Mahogany Back and SGs iconic double cutaway design, the body of SG1820 was redesigned to capture the sound and look which todays guitarists want. 
The contoured body top curves more deeply than previous models - the top arc of the curve, the center part of the body, has optimized wood-mass to maximise string-body vibration from the from the bridge and tailpiece. The deep curve maintains the guitars optimum weight balance and enhances the SGs stunning shape. 
The back contour featured on SG1/2/300, designed for increased comfort when the guitar was played high on the strap, has been modified to a flat back on the new SGs. The new flat back design increases the volume of Mahogany to significantly increase the low-mid response and presence while reflecting ergonomics needed for the lower stance modern players take with SGs.
