YAMAHA has been a pillar of the Japanese guitar industry since the dawn of guitar making, and is like Japan's Gibson.
The company has several models that are considered classics, and this model is a gem from the highly acclaimed SC series.
The serial number suggests this model was produced between 1977 and 1980.
Notably, it features a double-cutaway body shape reminiscent of a Stratocaster, but also a neck-through design.
The body is made of alder, and the neck is made of maple and mahogany.
The fingerboard is made of rare ebony.
The jet-black ebony and snowflake inlays, which are rarely seen these days, are beautiful.
The tuning machines, bridge, and other hardware are original Yamaha models, and the guitar has been carefully designed to suit your needs.
This instrument has also been extensively modified.
- Pickups changed to Seymour Duncan SSL-1
- Controls changed from one volume, one tone, and three-way toggle switch to one volume, two tone, and a 5-way selector
- Pickups changed from escutcheon mounts to metal pickguard mounts, with the body countersunk accordingly
- Conductive paint applied to the cavity
These modifications give the guitar a Stratocaster-like feel and appearance.
And yet, the neck-through and hardtail design make it a unique model.
This is a highly sought-after Japan vintage guitar.
