Anyone remember these Yamahas that were sort of a take on Gretsches The white ones were cool looking. I remember the one guitar player on that Nashville salutes the Stones TV thing a few years back had one of those going thru a Matchless combo amp...GOOD TONE!

Don't think I've seen or played that one, but did play a Yamaha SG-2000 many times that belonged to a good friend in the mid 80's. Great guitar, played better than any Les Paul I've ever picked up and sounded really good too. But it was 2 1/2 lbs heavier than a LP, hell on the shoulder.

To see one Click Here

I'd really like to find one sometime, I'd definitely add it o my current collection, the SG-2000 is one f the best guitars I've played yet.

I've played a couple of Yamaha strat models, not bad but not impressive either. Some of their acoustics were pretty decent, but same as any other acoustic you have to be picky.

Pete,

What you were trying to get up to click on didn't take. Repost the url.

Robin, the link works I just checked it. Page is open in another tab right now.

Here's the text form, you can copy & paste if the link still won't work for you.

. . . a very nice guitar . . . they also played like a Country Gentleman as well. I almost bought one in the late 1970s.
