Im after a swap for a Les Paul (skip to the end if you dont wanna read the blurb) Designed to be the more traditional rock-focused brother to Santana’s sustain-quest specification SG2000, the SG1000 features many of the same features as Yamaha’s most famous model including premium materials and master-craftsman construction swapping only the through-neck for a more traditional set-in design to give a powerful, biting rock tone.The SG1000 features Yamaha’s custom Alnico pickups and dual push/push coil taps that have made the legendary SG2000 a much sought-after classic, combined with a set-neck design for traditional rock tone and feel. The same handcrafted construction at Yamaha’s Japanese Music Craft workshop as the flagship SG2000 ensures the set up and finish are flawless while the latest SG models feature Initial Response Acceleration – a Yamaha exclusive manufacturing technique that replicates the physical changes the guitar undergoes during years of playing, accelerating the tonal ageing process, giving a more resonant, mature tone and enhanced sustain.Yamaha’s SG models have always been about building the finest guitar possible. In addition to no-compromise specification and handcrafted Japanese construction, Construction Set Neck Scale Length 24 3/4 (628.7mm) Fingerboard Ebony Radius 13 3/4 (350mm) Frets 22 Body Carved Maple Top, Mahogany Back Neck Mahogany 1 piece Bridge T-O-M Bridge Pickups Yamaha Alnico V Covered Humbucker x 2 Pickup Switch 3-Position Toggle Controls Front Volume, Rear Volume, Front Tone, Rear Tone with Push-Push Switch This guitar is in mint condition and retailed at over £1700 and bear in mind these reissues were small production custom shop instruments the only comparable one Ive seen for sale for a while was at Sound Affects Premier priced at £1200(now sold) and that one wasnt in nowhere near as good condition and didnt come with the OHSC, So Im pricing mine at £1000 scene as Im not a shop, I miss having a Les Paul in my arsenal so If youve got one for trade Ill throw in a tech21 trademark 10 amp and Marshall 4x10 cab to sweeten the deal! (I dont mind high end mij models either Im into quality guitars so the name on the headstock isnt paramount)
