Since the early days of Japanese-made guitars in the 1960s, Yamaha has developed numerous original models with a strong sense of individuality. In particular, from the 1970s onward, they have produced hit models such as the SG and BB, earning high praise both domestically and internationally, especially among fans of Japanese vintage guitars. This latest arrival is an "SJ-500" from around 1979, based on its serial number and other details. It's an entry-level model from the short-lived Super Jam series. 【body】 The total weight is approximately 4.05 kg. The body, with a shape reminiscent of F-company's TL model, is constructed with a maple top and alder back. The color is persimmon red. Overall, there is some damage commensurate with age, such as scratches, dents, and tarnishing of the metal parts. 【neck】 The neck and fretboard are made of one piece of maple. There are scratches and dents on the back of the neck, and it has some damage, similar to the body. The tuners have inconsistent winding, and some have a bit of stiff torque, but they function properly. The frets and nut are worn and currently low, but they have been leveled and adjusted by our shop, and playability is good. The nut width is approximately 41.1mm. It features a thin and sleek neck shape. [Electrical System] The controls consist of [1 Volume / 2 Tone / 3-way Pickup Selector Switch / Push-Lock Switch]. It is equipped with a G-III humbucker in the neck (front) position and a JI single-coil pickup in the bridge (rear) position. Its powerful rock sound is its main appeal.
