Here's pictures of the SG-Samurai guitars I've owned -

Re-issue SG-300 Sold


'69 SG-2a with cool original Middle Eastern issued hardshell case - sold to fund another SG



Before and after '68 SG-5a that I re-did - the red was a non-original color re-fin that was poorly done - original color was blue. Sold to fund something or another....



Before, after, and current pictures of an SG-?a that I bought and re-did years ago - one of the tougher projects I've ever done. Still own it - waaay too much work to let it go. http://www.offsetguitars.com/forums/vie ... 1&start=15" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Oops - double post - can someone erase the first one? It's missing a picture.

Also, erase this post if you can - I really made a mess of this............

I never knew you had owned so many Yamahas! This is Jake(SG101), FYI.

Should mention my SG-2 is currently getting re-fretted with Stew-Mac 152 wire, which measures .092 x .048. The Yammy frets on there measured around .080 x .023. No height at all…

That blue SG-5a is stunning! Just when I thought it was safe to say, 'No more Yamahas'...

Hey everyone, been lurking for a while and have really appreciated the info available on this forum. Great guitars on this thread and thought I would share my SG-12...

I really love this one, and as others have said, the white/mint is a great color combo. Unfortunately she was converted to a 6-string long before I got her and based on the logo, it looks like the headstock was refinished as well.

Anyway, if I can ever find correct tuners and tailpiece, maybe I'll convert her back to a 12! Here she is alongside some vintage cousins - my SG-600 and SL-700S.

I think this is the first white SG-12 I've seen - too cool!

That's an sg 600?

As far as I know, and that's what is says on the TRC. Tobacco burst, no split pups... Why do you ask?

Just because

Hmm how offset is that ?
Lets check

Hmm, good point, let me check... Yep, it's an offset:



Ok, now let's get back to business and see some more of those crooked SGs...

This thread is going offtopic. I would love to stick to 60's yamaha's.

AKA these guitars

So here's a 60s SG question: how many different variations of that brilliant trem arm have y'all encountered on these (different tips,materials, diameters, collet ends)?

I've read that on some (I think early) Yammy SGs the arm was removable but I'm not sure that's right. I know when I got my SG-2 I expected the arm to come out, like a Jazzmaster, and me and the dude in the store in Yokohama (who spoke very little English) stood around scratching our heads wondering what the problem was. It was only when I saw the case (with a wear mark where the trem arm sits) that I realised it was meant to stay on.
