Yamaha SG 1300T Cream White 1983

If you have ever tried an SG-1000 and thought it was the perfect guitar you are not alone. If you have ever tried an SG-1000 and thought “I wish it wasn’t that heavy”, you are also not alone. The good news is the SG-1300 might be the guitar for you. 

Featuring a lighter Mahogany body with maple cap, a flat body with a flush, set neck, ebony fretboard, mother of pearl split-wing fret-board position markers, locking nut and Kahler Tremolo unit. Gold plated Hardware, twin hum-buckers, coil tapping option. 

This guitar is beautiful.  It really highlights the precision and craftsmanship that Yamaha was cranking out in the late 70s and 80s. The guitar is quite well finished with a great appearance, headstock decoration and no standard pick-guard. Vintage original hard case included. Weight of guitar approx. 4 Kgs, neck width at nut approx. 4.4 cm. 

Condition: Good shape all around, some minor dings and chips that you would expect in a guitar that is at least 30 years old. One bridge saddle piece has a crack. Only noticeable when changing strings. One of the pickup rings is also cracked but we will include replacements so you can switch them out when you feel the existing ones have served their time :)

Playability: Straight neck, no buzzing, some fret wear, action is comfortable, no issues with electronics.
