{"product_id":"10-2800005599350","title":"[SN 001738] USED YAMAHA \/ SA-1200S Burgundy Red 1980 [10]","description":"We’ve just received a 1980 SA-1200S from its first year of release!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nWe’ve received the 1200S from the SA Series (Super Axe Series), which was added to the lineup as a new product in 1980.\u003cbr\u003e \nAlthough the finish is listed as “Burgundy Red,” it is not a metallic burgundy; rather, it is a deep, wine-red-purple hue with the wood grain showing through.\u003cbr\u003e \nThis particular guitar is an early model manufactured in 1980.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe date stamp on the pickup (a covered A-II humbucker) reads “54. 12. 1,” indicating that the pickup was manufactured on December 1, 1979 (Showa 54).\u003cbr\u003e \nLike the SA-2000S—which was the top-of-the-line model in the SA series at the time—the SA-1200S features a solid spruce body.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe only differences from the SA-2000S are the striped ebony fingerboard, the type of pickup, the color of the hardware, and the position marks and headstock decorations; it can be considered to have potential equal to or greater than that of the SA-1000, far surpassing the SA-700 of that era.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nKey Specifications and Materials\u003cbr\u003e \nBody: Arched solid spruce top\u003cbr\u003e \nCenter block: Spruce \u0026amp; maple\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e \nFingerboard: Striped ebony (as it is nearly jet black, it may have been stained)\u003cbr\u003e \nPickup: Covered A-II humbucking pickup\u003cbr\u003e \nTone Control: B-Sound System (coil-split mechanism)\u003cbr\u003e \nTuners: Genuine Yamaha die-cast tuners with torque adjustment\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nOverall Condition\u003cbr\u003e \nBlacklight inspection in a dark room: It looked almost too good to be true, so I suspected overspray on the topcoat, but it was difficult to determine for certain. Additionally, the control knobs and other knobs are in original condition. (The metal plate on the tone control knob is missing.)\u003cbr\u003e \nControl Area: There are no irregularities in the solder work, and the wiring and electronic components (pots, capacitors, pickup selector, and jack) are in original condition and function well.\u003cbr\u003e \nFrets: The original frets show no signs of severe wear; there are only very slight traces of minor wear.\u003cbr\u003e \nAppearance: The finish has developed a milky haze across the entire surface, resulting in a creamy patina due to aging. While there are no conspicuous, large scratches, there are fine scratches throughout the body consistent with 46 years of use. These are particularly numerous on the pickguard; however, the guitar is in such pristine condition that we would be grateful if you could purchase it before any damage occurs from display or trial play.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+: Some scratches are present, but the instrument is suitable for normal use.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 001738\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 1980\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: Japan\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Hard case (original SA case from that era, genuine accessory sold separately; exterior shows signs of aging and damage)\u003cbr\u003e \nAccessories: 5mm hex wrench for neck adjustment\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 3.91 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: No issues; checked up to 60 degrees to the left and right with no problems\u003cbr\u003e \nFret Wear: Within normal range; fret height is sufficient for playability\u003cbr\u003e \nString Height (Low-String Side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nString Height (Treble Side): 1.5 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nNut width: 43.0 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 1st fret: 21.2 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 12th fret: 25.6 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 628 mm (24.75\")\u003cbr\u003e \nRADIUS: 356 mm (14\")\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings at setup: ERNIE BALL 2223 \/ .009–.042 set\u003cbr\u003e \nRepairs and Maintenance: Cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, action adjustment\u003cbr\u003e \nOther: Pickup date stamp: 54. 12. 1 (December 1, 1979; Showa 54)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, and other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here.
