USED YAMAHA / SG-1000 Red Sunburst 1982 [10]

Made in 1982, the SG-1000 features a set neck!

Although it is often considered a low-priced model of the SG-2000, which features a through neck, the SG-1000 features a set neck that was developed based on a different concept to begin with.
The SG-1000 features a maple top and mahogany back body, and a set neck made of mahogany, maple, and mahogany. The scale is 628mm, the neck shape is a little thicker, and the fingerboard surface is ebony. The nut width is about 42.8mm in actual measurement. The frets & nut have been replaced.
The front PU is an original semi-open OPG-1, and the rear position has been replaced with a DiMaggio. It seems to be a Super Distortion from its looks and its DC resistance value. Its escutcheon has also been replaced accordingly. The rear Vol pot has been replaced with a recent CTS, and the capacitor has been replaced with a DEL RITMO Black candy 0.022uF capacitor. Both Push-Push tone pots for bi-sound have been replaced and are in good working order.

The body has scratches, scuffs, line scratches, dents, and peeling paint. The top of the body has scratches, lines, and small dents, although there are no noticeable signs of use. There is some whitish from the back of the neck to the sides and back of the body. Unlike the relatively clean top, the sides and back have dents and scratches, showing signs of use. The back of the neck also has dents and scratches mainly in the low position. The back of the head has peeling paint, and the top of the head is also cloudy. All hardware is gold, so some of the plating has fallen off or deteriorated.

The neck condition is fine, and the truss rod can be adjusted in the direction to tighten or loosen, and can still be turned and adjusted in the direction to tighten. The truss rod nut has a few washers. There are no noticeable string marks on the frets, and about 80% of the frets are left. Currently, the string height is adjusted at about 2.0mm on the 6th string (12F) and about 1.5mm on the 1st string (12F).

Overall, there are some signs of use on the sides and back of the body, and the PU has been replaced, but there is little damage on the top, which is the face of the instrument. The neck has been replaced with a new fretboard, so it is a good choice for players.
