YAMAHA SA60 Original Semi Acoustic Guitar 1973 or 74 made

YAMAHA SA60 1973-77 made Semi-Acoustic Guitar

Yamaha developed many original guitars against Gibson and Fender during 70's.
Late 70's, they changed the policy and made Strat and Les Paul replica.
However, by that time, they were always looking for the original design.
I think they did those as a pound of NO.1 musical instruments manufacturer.

Early SA series have a serial numbers at the end of finger board.
This guitars serial is starting from 3, so I could estimate it was made in 73 or 74.

The catalog data didn't tell us the detailed. It said

Price : JYE 65,000
Finger Board : Rosewood
Neck : Maple
Tuner : Yamaha Original Diecast

The body is probably laminated Sycamore wood. Most of semi-acoustic guitars used it.

About the sound, you could get some sample on WEB. This guitar shows very sweet tone.
I like the neck PU tone. It is more sweet than Gibson ES-335 or later Yamaha SA series.
Well, suitable to use for Jazz music.

The condition is good. The body hasn't got visible dents and scratches.
I think for wood construction hasn't got any damage. The set neck condition is well.
No paint cracking around connection part.

1 original part was missed. The tone knob is not original.
The nut I wonder this is original or not. It seems that the nut is removed, but shape like original.

Beside this, I think this guitar fully original.
The hard case is on this picture is not Yamaha. We used it only for taking picture.
We will ship this guitar with brand new black color hard case.

Many people look for vintage SA60 or SA90.
This is one of very good condition SA60.
