GONE: Yamaha SA2200 (Made in Japan) with hard case - £GONE

imalrightjack

Beautiful guitar in wonderful condition with hard case. No discernible dings or scratches with some very light swirling. The serial number of this guitar (HMM036I) dates it to June 2016 from the Japan Custom Shop.

It is currently strung with Thomastik flatwound gauge 12 strings and takes little tweaking to set it to a lower gauge.

£1,050.  Will post at cost (I have a box) or collect from CA7.

Price?

@robinbowes £1,399 as a start point.  It's really an amazing guitar but I could do with shifting one, so needs must and all that.

If I didn't have one I'd be after this but my Violin burst SA2200 is a keeper and has seen off a couple of 59 Historics ...   

Lovely fast neck and playability. Those Alnicos are fine, too.

Shouldn't be around for long .... Assuming no coil taps ?

Yes. It coil taps!

The coil-tapped sound is great, too. They're really versatile guitars.

It’s a race to see which I’ve my sales goes to determine what stays!

I love these guitars, I have two. Somebody buy it! As good as a Gibson or Collings. Now that Yamaha have sorted their pickups out with these Alnico 5s, it is unbeatable! Great frets, too. Jon Herington plays one, can't be bad.

I have always loved them and the original 80s  SA2000 s
just great guitars and certainly as good as any Gibson

I have one of each - a newer SA2200 (identical to this one) and a refinished 80s SA2000S. They're both excellent guitars. Oh, and I have an SG3000S too

Did you happen to weigh it, by any chance?

imalrightjack

@amigo A little over 9lb. 

Amigo

Many thanks for that, that is a bit too heavy for me, although I am sure it plays beautifully.

Bump.

If it helps anybody, I will be in the Clitheroe area for a week as of Friday coming (4th Sept).
