Tuning and intonation are good. Some play scuffs but, for a guitar of this vintage, in pretty nice shape. The original Yamaha PUPs are good but a tad vanilla for my taste. I will include them in the sale. Presently has Fender 62 Strat reissue PUPs and sounds extra surfy. No problems. Everything functions as intended. $400. Please feel free to ask questions. PM me. Local pick up can be arranged in SoCal. Otherwise shipping USPS CONUS only, buyer pays, (usually $25-$45 depending). The turtle can easily be removed, just not in front of my wife. This puppy will be going on ebay in a week, but I wanted to give the SG101 crowd a crack first.

I own two FS and they can compete. Strats are pretty darn ergonomic but Yamaha managed to pull ahead just a wee bit. The whang bar is essentially a strat duplicate as are the original PUPs and switching. So, if you're a total Soup Nazi Strat guy, stick with Strats. If, on the other hand, you like something a bit different, but don't want to stray real far, this can fill the bill. — mj bent playing for benter results Do not attempt to adjust your TV set. https://www.facebook.com/Bass-VI-Explorers-Club-179437279151035/ https://www.facebook.com/Lost-Planet-Shamen-366987463657230/ Top

I'm just disappointed that they just went with the strat forumla on pickups, trem, and switching. I'd rather see something more original, like with the SGV (sure, they are reissues, but of an original Yamaha setup). Top

Later, they did a version that was still three single poles but two of them were placed together (maybe a Van Halen?) — mj bent playing for benter results Do not attempt to adjust your TV set. https://www.facebook.com/Bass-VI-Explorers-Club-179437279151035/ https://www.facebook.com/Lost-Planet-Shamen-366987463657230/ Top
