Yamaha SA1200 S Electric Guitar - Sunburst

Yamaha SA1200 S
Sunburst
Pre-Owned Circa 1980 - Very Good Condition

According to the archives this guitar was made in Japan from December 1979 to 1983 and retailed on release at 120,000 yen. This does not appear in the US and Canada 1981 catalogue but does appear in the UK catalogues of the time. It may or may not have been available in other western countries at the time. However the archives may be wrong as it appears in the 1985 catalogue it is of course possible that manufacture stopped but there was stock until later, not unusual for Yamaha. It is said that only 800 or so of these were made which seems unlikely over that period of time. There could also have been a pickup change in 1985 In earlier catalogues they are described just as Yamaha Humbuckers but in the 1985 catalogue they are described as High Output Humbuckers.
