Alex's new old Guitar - 1979 Yamaha SG500

[@Neilybob100]

Phil X used to play one of these. Love the natural and not so natural tear and wear on this one. Congratulations on an awesome guitar

[@TSFAHTPS]

Thank you!!

I own a 1999 SG700S that I purchased new when I was 16. Every time I take it somewhere to play I’m amazed how many other guitar players have never seen one before.

[@tonyantares5196]

Great guitar thanks; the SG2000 as played by Carlos Santana is also the best; heavy but beautiful

[@KaiDown]

I love the look of those old Yamaha SGs, my Revstar is a killer guitar but the OG would be cool to own some day too

[@hanetor4571]

Great Sound! Samurai Head shape!

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

It really does sound like a Les Paul. It looks dead cool too. nice one. Congratulations you scooped up a real gem. It would be ideal to use on pedal demos to give us an idea of what the pedal sounds like with Gibson/PAF things in general. Thanx guys

Great vid guys. A Yamaha SG700 cherry burst was one of my first guitars in the early 80's and I still own it. I play it almost daily with a lot of pleasure. It has split coil, which was really new back then. Cool guitars. The SG1000 and SG2000 were the real Gibson killers. If you can get your hands on one of those!!!!!

Right of the bat, lovely warm sounding guitar, Congratulations mate.

[@steweco]

Wow, that middle position sounds really nice! And that faded desert black, wonderful. Congratulations & what a nice birthday present. 👍

[@mojotim-bg5qn]

Guys guys GUYS! A lovely guitar for lovely people. ❤

[@jlore6344]

I like it. I never played an old Yamaha like that, but from here it looks and sounds great. Seems like a good catch.

[@bluessumlin...7067]

These old Yamaha guitars are awesome congrats Alex!🙂👍🎸

[@robertmenzies6939]

0:24 happy Birthday Alex hope you had a good day buddy 🎉

[@bigwavedave8492]

I've had an 85 yahama sbg 500 since 89 and yes it's definitely a les paul killer

[@PooNinja]

Very cool axe Alex 🤘🏽 congratulations

[@Fret-knot]

That's a cracking guitar. Never picked up a bad Yamaha yet!👍🏻

[@randysutton749]

Nice guitar. Yamaha stuff is really underrated. Sounds great. Gotta love those hefty guitars.

[@a67lexcosh]

I have one! 500 sg 1976. Aswome! HI! Form rosario Argentina. Alexguitarss

[@phoenixlandingstudio6594]

The headstocks on these old Yamahas look way nester than todays.

[@DevTechAudio]

Sounds great guys!

[@TSFAHTPS]

Thanks Terry!!

[@mikerauter1859]

Try a Sakai Kalamazoo, you'll be blown away, think a vintage Ibanez subsidiary company, an SG with 3 nonslanted single coils, a teleish neck, phase option switching like a mustang with a jazz master bridge. Perfect

[@delivrance3961]

nice acquisition!!!

[@TSFAHTPS]

Thank you!!

[@650thunderbird]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@brentstewart4360]

Santana approved

[@emelle1283]

how about the Yamaha SF1000?

[@TSFAHTPS]

I have seen pictures of them and heard about them I have never actually played one…

[@bigwavedave8492]

It's Carlos Santana guitar for all his early years

[@robertmenzies6939]

Nice guitar great look and also sounded fat as well as it was pushing the amp only thing I will say is did not seem to have the best sustain but that might just be down to the test sound set up. Look forward to seeing this guitar in future vids

[@groovymoon]

WHO THE F Sold you My guitar!!!. Bought one in 1981. EXACTLY like the one I used to have. A friend I used to jam with had a Les Paul Standard and I liked the Yamaha better. The SG500 was the lowest model as far as I remember..
