Oh and here are some photos of the neck pocket. Kind of interesting to me that the serial number on the neck pocket is different from what is stamped into the fretboard. (3412 vs 0696?).

It's probably a date - it's written 3.41.2 and Showa era 41 is 1966 in the Western calendar. Possibly March 1966, number 2 in the production run. Surprisingly few of these were made. I'll check the neck pocket of my SG3 sometime!

Sorry it just sold here "locally" on OSG

It was this one:
RARE Vintage 1960s Yamaha SG-2 SG-3 *project* neck/body Link Wray https://reverb.com/item/78734747?utm_so ... t=78734747

I had a 60's Yamaha bass with a bowed neck that I straightened out by clamping it with the bow straightened out (and a bit past), heating it with a hair dryer, and then letting it cool back down. It might be worth trying first before sanding away the wood.

I did a similar thing with a twisted Jazz Bass neck by clamping it and shining a 150W light bulb on the back of it for a day (about 2 ft away). Then I let it cool down over several days. Came out dead straight and stayed stable for a year before I sold it.
