1979 Yamaha SG2000Serial 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.SPECS:Body Material: MahoganyTop Material: Maple Body Finish: PolyurethaneNeck Material: MahoganyNeck Construction: Set-neckNeck Profile: Slim, comfortable profileFingerboard: EbonyFingerboard Radius: 13.75" (350mm)Number of Frets: 22Scale Length: 24.75" (628.6mm)Nut Width: Approximately 1.69" (42.8mm)Inlays: Block or dot inlays (varies by model)Neck Finish: PolyurethaneBridge: Tune-o-Matic-style bridge with stop tailpieceTuning Machines: Yamaha-branded tuning machinesPickguard: Typically a black pickguardHardware Finish: gold hardware Neck Pickup: Humbucking pickup (Yamaha SGH-1N)Bridge Pickup: Humbucking pickup (Yamaha SGH-1B)Pickup Configuration: Dual humbuckers3-way pickup selector switch2x volume controls2x tone controlsBinding: Body and neck bindingInlaid Yamaha logo on the headstockSet neck construction for improved sustain and resonance*Comes With Original Hardshell Case
