Incoming HNGD

[dmn23]

I know the general feeling about these mostly ranges from ambivalence to hate. I don't care, I've always liked them and I have a fetish for weird old Yamahas.

It's an early 80s SC-400 in what appears to be excellent shape. Yay me.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

That looks super weird. Enjoy it.

 

[jelloman]

Gotta love that upper fret access...

 

[wagdog]

:rawk:

 

[Chad]

It looks backwards. I'd rock it, congrats.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

If you love it, that is what matters. Enjoy!

 

[Dudeman1967]

I'd rock it! And so should you!

HNGD whenever it arrives.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Delightful. All Yammies are beautiful.

Congrats!

[Deep Eddy]

HNGD! Enjoy.

 

[micwalt]

That's wild!
HNGD!

 

[Jbird]

HINGD!!!

middle pickup, fretboard marker, barrel saddles failboat though

 

[dmn23]

It gets weirder. Set-neck, mahogany with an ash veneer, and pickups that tilt like on a Tele. And since it's circa '82 I'm sure the pickups are super overwound.

 

[DFB]

Strangeness.
HNGD!

 

[PunkKitty]

Awesome! HNGD!

If it rocks in your own hands, your gonna love it.

I swear it looks like someone at the factory loaded the body pattern up side down. They made too many to throw out so they went with it. They call it an upgrade and charge for it. That!, My friends, is marketing.

All of that said, I like it.

With that headstock it requires a banana-hammock to play properly...

I was gonna ask, how hot are those OG Yammie single-coils?

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Weirdo cool! I really like those neck thru ones in the stock pick.
