SOLD vintage Yamaga SBG2000 (SG2000), neck-thru, nitro, ebony board, coil taps

[wknight2]

My new rule, new guitar in, one needs to be sold. I have 5 of these, so....

For sale is my 1982 Yamaha SBG2000 electric guitar. SOLD

These guitars are also known as a Yamaha SG2000. Yamaha designated guitars for the US market as SBG instead of SG to avoid problems with Gibson.

I have 5, and imho, one of the best guitars ever made. Think Carlos Santana! It has a nitro finish, an ebony fingerboard, coil taps – so you can get ripping humbucker sounds, and switch to a single-coil strat sound by pushing the taps. The Yamaha SBG2000 is a neck-thru guitar, which gives it unbelievable sustain. It also has a special sustain block bridge, which further adds to the sustain. The SBG2000 and SBG3000 were the top of the line, do not confuse them with lower numbered models. The SBG3000 is the same guitar as the SBG2000 with much fancier inlays and binding, but without the sustain block bridge of the SBG2000.

This one comes with the original case. It has 1 ding on the rear upper horn as seen in the picture. It has some light scratching on the back, and the gold hardware has some tarnishing. For a 30+ year old guitar, it is in wonderful shape, sounds AMAZING, and plays like a dream.

These guitars are fabulous and this is a great price someone grab it.

The first really serious Japanese made competition to the U.S. guitar industry.

For all you fellow Hamer fans, the fretboard radius is VERY close to Hamer at 13 3/4" = 350mm, so its like playing an old friend.

I have a 1977 SG 2000 and a 1982 SBG 500, they are great guitars.. BUMP

They are great guitars, but you do them a great disservice by comparing them to Mr. Santana.

I've never liked Santana. But I do like Yamaha SGs!

[wknight2]

Not a fan of the early Santana either?

Bill Nelson played one of these for a while, as I recall.

Bill Nelson played one of these for a while, as I recall.

Yes he did and so did Stuart Adamson from Big Country.

Frank Gambale does too. I love that the guitar does Jazz, Blues, and Rock equally well.

By the way, free US shipping for Hamer forum members. For international shipping I'll pay 1/2.
