SG7

The 6-string Yamaha electic guitar made in 1966 / 22 frets / Gold plated knobs and tunes / Weight: 3.5 Kg ( 7.7 pounds ) / The entire length: 103 cm ( 40.5 inches ) / Color: Sunburst / The 3-way toggle switch is similar to the Mosrite Ventures model / An unique body shape / There is no other body shape like this one.

No visible rust. Body paint is still perfect. A few tiny dings are visible.

I played through a Musicman amp 410 with a foot switch and an effect ( AX5G Modeling Signal Processor ). / I have created the Ventures sound from the US and Shadows sound from the UK. / 

A well-made guitar for the price.  It stays in tune as always.

No warranty provided since I bought it from the E-Bay in June, 2008.  It is a well-made vintage 6-string Yamaha electric guitar from the late 1960's Era. This 6-string vintage Yamaha electric guitar was sold from August, 1966 to the mid 1967. 

I have been playing guitar since 1965.  I was born in Tokyo, Japan.  When I was a teenager, we copied the Venture's music from the US and Shadows music from the UK.  We also copied and played some Beatles, Animals, Rolling Stones & Searchers music. I wish I have purchased this 6 string electric guitar in 1966 or 1967.  I underestimated the Yamaha Nippon Gakki Company.   When I came to San Francisco from Tokyo, Japan in August, 1971, I have found a few Yamaha electric guitars since then.  This is one of the best one. My 2 sons and I own a little over 60 guitars.  We have only 9 vintage guitars in our collection.
