I had a cherry 2000 sitting under my bed since 1979. Sold it 8 years ago to some dude in LA who was a real studio cat. s/n 3133 if I remember correctly
Exactly my kind of Devil Horned Beauty SG Guitar type and what it represents all what i love in a truly good Guitar i want it on BLACK for my instrumental Goth Doom Metal projects
Thank you so much for this amazing demo. You are really great ! It so devastating beautiful this sg2000 ... i wonder why chinese have not copied it ... maybe they respect it too much ? What a sound.
@@euphony5552 Hi thank you very much for the kind and helpful reply. I just say what a pity. I love the look of the Yamaha SG series so much that i cannot describe. There are too musts for beauty ... proportions and simmetry. What they were thinking at Yamaha when they designed the new Revstar series ? media.sweetwater.com/api/i/q-82__ha-443d07987527fa8f__hmac-c41e71ac5a88f109d2bc9a3e5a7288e06eff5cd1/images/items/750/RevStar620BC-large.jpg the shape is asimmetric ... It looks bad I would even think to buy one and make it simmetric. Just think of a person with a shoulder higher than the other I am sure that instead sonic wise the Revstar can be pretty phenomenal. Again ... what a pity. Kind regards, gino
@@gino3286 Took me a while to find this reply and I can't help but agree. I'm actually getting my first guitar rn and I'm settling for Epiphone in stead.
@@euphony5552 hi no problem Unfortunately the new editions are quite expensive even I guess very high quality Wonderful guitars for look and sound kind regards gino
he's known as 'Char', he did a tv show where he invited world-known guitarists to just jam with him. Search 'Char meets Marty Friedman' or 'Stave Lukather'.
I have a '79 tobacco sunburst SG2000. Great playing guitar but there are two areas where Yamaha needs to invest some R & D, at least for the new issue SG2000. First, the gold finish on the bridge and tailpiece are both prone to premature pitting and wear. I bought my guitar used and had to replace the bridge with a new one from Yamaha because it was so badly corroded. Second is the pickups. The pickups in the guitar in this video are not the originals. Originals have very little high end
Honestly, I think the original pickups sound great. They sound the way they were intended to at the time. Back in the day (1979) Guitar Player made a similar comment about the gold hardware, in an otherwise sparkling review (where they pointed out the pickups were actually hotter than competing domestic American guitars). Dan Smith, who was Yamaha's spokesman in the U.S. (before spending years at Fender) replied to their criticism by pointing out that this was a common problem with Gold plated hardware on most guitars, not just Yamaha. Gold plating is more susceptible to damage from sweat and skin oils than chrome. But many people still like gold more than chrome on high end guitars, so they used it anyway. :) BTW-It was probably Dan's time at Yamaha that inspired his designs for the Fender Flame and Epsrit guitars which folks like Robin Ford loved so much. And, which were made in Japan, just like our favorite little Yamaha horned devil! 😊
@@fromapplecity27 A friend of mine was worked in the Taiwan YAMAHA guitars factory , he said SG2000 was made in Taiwan SG3000 made in japan, but it's a very long time ago, so probably could be a wrong memory to him...
I actually thought from the thumbnail that it was Jimmy Page in a ballcap. This is too good! Lovethe groove at the end. Great sympathetic playing all-around.
I have the same one. Action is very low on mine also. Set of .09's is great. Put .10's on it and getting some buzz,, may have to go back to 09's or try to raise action. Played like butter though with .09's.
