For sale a Yamaha SA-1100 that is just in fantastic condition and has been recently set up with a new nut (original in the case) with a lovely low and responsive action. It’s only been gigged a handful of times and needs to get out and get more exercise.
The two pickups together with the 2 tone push/push for coil tap control offer a fantastic range of sounds ranging from funk to blues to rock. I am slightly reluctantly selling to make room for an inbound vintage 335. The guitar comes with the original case.
This guitar was made beautifully 35 years ago in Japan (November 1988) and (other than a small number of small dinks that I have captured in the photos) could easily pass off as new. You can verify the year and county of manufacture from the serial number.
