- 1960s Yamaha Sb5a Bass Made In Japan
guitarz.blogspot.com: Here we see a very nice example of one of Yamaha's very earliest solidbody bass guitars, namely the Yamaha SG5A bass. Of course, it wasn't the very first Yamaha bass guitar - that distinction goes to the Yamaha SB2 - however...
- Yamaha Aes 820's Cool Headstock
guitarz.blogspot.com I have to admit that so far I've overlooked the Yamaha AES series to which this early 2000s Yamaha AES 820 belongs. OK, it has some typically Yamaha cool features, like a very special beveled German carve, a quite interesting...
- Yamaha Sa-20 Semi-hollowbody 12-string Electric Guitar From 1968
guitarz.blogspot.com: Regular readers of Guitarz will know of my enthusiasm for certain early Yamaha solidbody electrics, but being a recent semi-hollowbody convertee I am wishing I had the chance to sample Yamaha's early semis. In May 2011 we looked...
- Yamaha Sg-40 Japanese-made Singlecut Solidbody Electric Guitar From 1972
guitarz.blogspot.com: Here's a Yamaha SG-40, another of their earlier solidbody guitars, this one dating from 1972. It's a relation of the Les Paul-like Yamaha SG-45 that we already looked at back in March of this year, but is has a bolt-on neck...
- Yamaha Sbg2000 In Jacksonville (jax Bch?) Fl For $450
These SBG2000 models have a rabid following and some consider the early 80's models to be as good or better than the Gibson Les Paul's of the same period. It's hard to say for sure but these were some of Yamaha's top of the line...

1981 Yamaha SC-600 with glossy transparent finish

So far I didn't like Yamaha's SC series that felt no more than a downgrade version of the great SGV, but the glossy transparent lack on a subtly figured mahogany body and maple/manhogany neck-through is sumptuous and makes it a completely different guitar.
Contrarily to many Japanese guitars of the time mostly influenced by Gibson, Yamaha keeps here the 3 single coils strat configuration of its earlier models.
For some bizarre reasons, this guitar was short lived and produced only in 1981-1982.
