Petition: a Yamaha SG-3 reissue

lborl Joined: Sep 04, 2013 Posts: 3	Posted on Jul 01 2019 05:23 AM A long shot but still surely worth a try: please sign my petition for Yamaha to reissue the beautiful SG-3. Maybe they'll do it if they see there's a market? http://chng.it/qD5KpWBvHK Top

In order to achieve this it'd wind up with numerous differences as well. I wish that demand were sufficient for Yamaha to have carried on with its SGV line. Those are super nice guitars but time and scarcity has driven their price up way beyond what they originally sold for (even accounting for 20 years of inflation). — The Mystery Men?

They did do a successful reissue of the SG2C that I'm curious about. https://reverb.com/item/21730145-eastwood-sg2c-flying-banana-2019-blue — The Mystery Men?

Different trem and switching though, and presumably different pickups too, but can't say for certain as I've never played one. https://reverb.com/item/18721865-excellent-mosrite-sg-2-sg-3-type-red-electric-guitar-ref-no-2029 — Earth.

Changing the pickups seems to be an extremely daunting task. A bolt on FMIC neck pocket would also be a needed option — JonnyAngle.Bandcamp.com DroppingAcidPedalEtching.com Top
