Guitar
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 guitars in the early 80's. I am not sure when they switched from calling them SG's to SBG's (maybe only for export to the USA) This is very similar to the guitar that Carlos Santana used to play before he switched to PRS - I think his was a Yamaha SG1500 or something like that.
Anyway I've heard of these guitars selling for well over $1K so this one in FL is certainly a good deal.
The seller seems to be a bit confused - there is no Kahler tremolo in the picture - so be alert that there could be some funny business going on here - I would want to speak wwith the seller directly.

Guitar has a double cutaway configuration, some say it is an SG copy, but the body is more styled like a double cutaway Les Paul would be. It has a three way switch, and the tone knobs tap up to split the coils on the pickups. This guitar is finished in gloss black, with black pickups, and all the metal is gold finish. I would say it has more of a Gibson type neck, but Yamaha has figured out a way to make it really slick, with fat frets, and a perfect feel, the action is incredible.

Body Style - SBG double cutaway, like a Les Paul with 2 cuts
