SOLD: 1976 Yamaha SG2000 - £1400 - REDUCED - OPEN TO OFFERS

Yet another ‘I can’t believe I’m doing this but my head has been turned by something shiny and new’ sale.

BACK UP DUE TO THE LORD AND MASTER OF ALL TIME WASTERS

Up for sale is my old Tobacco Sunburst SG2000.

 Made in 1976 (the first year SG2000s were produced) I assume it is a prototype or a very early version of the SG2000, because it has a few things that make it different to every other SG2000 I have played and seen.

 - It has fret edge binding, which is something other SG2000s do not have.

-The serial number is the same pattern as the SG175s, rather than the standard SG2000 pattern.

-The rear of the head stock is finished differently to the rest of the guitar.

 Other than that, it seems to be the same spec as a normal SG2000 - mahogany body, maple top, neck through, brass sustain block under the bridge, ebony fretboard. The top has a very subtle flame in certain lights.

 It has its fair share of knocks, as you would expect from a guitar of this age, but nothing major or structural. The finish has cracked over the Yamaha logo.

 Tons of pictures of the guitar at: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ak72nmvmf1gral9/AAD38gV6QSbWsnhv2B4UZlHYa?dl=0

 The machine heads have been replaced with Grover rotomatics. I will include the original parts with the sale. The electrics are original. Currently set up with 9-46s. 

 The weight is around 4.6kg and guitar absolutely sings.

 Bit hard to price these as some seller(s) seem to distort the market by asking ludicrous sums; mind you this one is dropping like a stone. £1550? NOW £1500


****£1400 ****    C'mon folks: make me an offer!


Not really looking for trades as already spent the money. Twice D

 Would prefer not to post if possible after some serious horror stories but everything’s negotiable...  Collection and questions welcome.

    Nice guitars, I have a 1500 and a couple of 3000S models, not sure about that edge binding being unusual, Im sure Ive seen a few 2000's with the edge binding?

    Anyhow, still very cool guitars, GLWS.

    I WANT it, I just can't make you a credible offer! My advice would be not to sell it, they're lovely instruments and if nobody will give you a credible price then you should hang on to it.

  • Mate, I don't think you've got any takers ... for now. I suggest you keep that lovely guitar and play it. Find something else to sell - one of the wife's kidneys or something.

    Guess it’s overpriced. Weird. They seem to go for a lot more... (or at least people ask a lot more) and there’s something I was specifically after. Meh. Not to be :grin:

  • No its not overpriced there's just not the opportunity to sell right now. Don't accept a bum deal
