This Yamaha original model was born in the midst of the electric guitar boom in 1966. It led the early days of the Japanese electric guitar industry and is arguably the most import ant model in the history of Yamaha guitars. To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Blue Jeans Custom SG-7, the SG-7AS was reproduced in a limited run of 500 around 1996. Although it shows signs of use, it is a valuable piece. 【body】 The overall weight is approximately 3.6 kg. The deep moss green color and gold hardware create a luxurious look. The traditional asymmetrical body, known as the "reverse shape," is made of Katsura wood, just like the original. Signs of considerable wear, such as large dents and scratches, mainly on the sides of the body, and tarnish on the metal parts, give the guitar a nice finish. The base of the tremolo unit arm attachment is damaged, preventing the arm bar from being secured in place. 【neck】 The cursive logo on the headstock is sure to appeal to any enthusiast. While commercially available SG-7s are bound, the prototype is unbound, likely incorporating that design. The frets and nut show some wear and dents, particularly on the lower frets, but there's no excessive clogging or buzzing, so playability is unaffected. The nut width is approximately 41.0mm, and the neck shape is very slim and thin. [Electrical system] The controls are one volume, one tone, a rear position balancer control, and a three-way pickup selector switch. The neck pickup is a single coil mounted parallel to the rear pickup, another early feature. The rear pickup features two single coils lined up and equipped with a balancer control, a control arrangement consistent with the original. It produces a crisp, lively tone that evokes the surf music and GS sounds of the time.
