TGIF? Nah...TGIY!

The classic Yamaha doublecut shape updated with modern electronics, specs, and a classic Gold Top finish. This is the SBG1802, which is built with a maple top over a mahogany body. The modern changes to the guitar are a redesigned top that curves deeper than previous models, and now the center has optimized wood-mass to maximize the vibration of the strings through the bridge and tailpiece. The back is now flat to increase the low-mid response and presence of the instrument. The SBG headstock has been reshaped to a slightly smaller size – and the classic ‘flower pot’ inlay has been resized to be appropriately proportioned. Tone is provided by two Seymour Duncan P-90s for great chunky and well-defined tones, and hardware are Grover locking tuners and TonePros bridge/tailpiece for a rock-solid construction.

[PunkKitty]

Yeah. Okay.

 

[jelloman]

That body shape does not work in anything other than a 'burst...

 

[Coralkong]

I like it.

Don't know if I $2700 like it, but it's cool.

 

[Guitar Heel]

Love it.

Though, my back hurts a little just looking at it.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Yes.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

I always loved those double cut Yammys, and did not know a gold top existed. Yes please! And I would like a double humbucker one as well.

Pregnant SG

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

Love it.

Though, my back hurts a little just looking at it.

11 lbs of tone!!

 

[Chad]

I've never really dug these.

 

[wagdog]

P90s and a goldtop? Of yes!

 

[Modern Saint]

I remember those guitars. Kinda cool.

 

[wok]

Not for me

 

[Coralkong]

I know this is going to sound stupid, but I really like that case.

 

[jp_nyc]

Like it, my shoulder and bank account said no.

 

[CBHScott]

Would like it a lot more at about half the cost. Price aside, it's HOT.

 

[ellengtrgrl]

Not bad, I like the Yamaha SGs, but for that price, I'd prefer to get my hands on one of the late 70s/early 80s SG2000s.

 

[mongooz]

ehhh......it's ok.

 

[Deep Eddy]

It's funny that I like the SG2000's that Carlos played back in the '70s, (either natural or black finishes with humbuckers), but I don't like the look with P90s and a goldtop finish. I can't explain why since I like P90s and I don't mind goldtops.
