YAMAHA SG-45 1972 Made JV MIJ

This is the older designed of Yamaha SG model.Actually, SG has many design since 1960's. But this is a guitar, Yamaha started to offer the set-Neck type electric guitars on the market. After this guitar, they will start the symmetry design SG in 1973/74.
This guitar was made only for 1 year.
I made a decision to sell this guitar before, But I kept this guitar totally 3-4 years now.
I don't know a reason why I just like it.

However, I don't like the guitar tone because of Yamaha old pick up.
Then, I made a decision again, well, I should change the PUs to TV Jones PowerTron.
I just thought that this guitar will be like Gretch Jet type ?

I have changed all electric circuit too. Now, this guitar have CTS potetiometers, Switch Craft Jack, Belden Silver coated wire,
Grover Lock type tuner and new inch knobs. Well, body only Yamaha.

It became good guitar. I'm using this guitar very often now. However, If you would like to take this guitar,
I could offer you from USD 698.00
