USED YAMAHA / SAS1500 Antique Violin Sunburst [11]

The ultimate high-quality semi-hollow body guitar, condensed into a compact body.

The YAMAHA SAS1500 is a highly practical semi-hollow model that combines a compact, easy-to-handle body design with premium materials. The warm, rich midrange characteristic of a mahogany body is complemented by the quick attack and clear definition of an ebony fingerboard, resulting in a well-balanced sound that combines sweetness with clarity.

In addition to the smooth, rich tone produced by the humbucker, the coil-tap function allows for a light, airy sound with excellent projection. Its versatility makes it easy to handle across a wide range of genres, from jazz, fusion, and blues to pop and rock.

Its size—slightly more compact than the ES series—makes it easy to hold, reducing fatigue even during long performances. This is a Yamaha model known only to connoisseurs, masterfully combining high-quality aesthetics, playability, and versatile sound.
