Yamaha’s first electric guitars officially launched in April 1966 under the names S302 and S201, which were changed one month later to SG-3 and SG-2. They featured original designs for the tremolo unit, neck joint system, and pickups, demonstrating Yamaha's penchant for individuality and innovation from their very first models.
A favourite of Link Wray, This was their take on of the Fender Jazzmaster. The guitar is in good shape with normal player wear (please refer to detailed pics) and both pickups have strong output with nice clarity and body. Cleans sound as nice as do heavy gain sounds. With help from the zero nut the guitar sets up perfectly. The tremolo arm is missing it's plastic end and may not be original.
These were a big hit with the Surf / Garage craze in the 60’s and are in use with many Surf and Garage revival bands.
