Re the Yamaha, wasnt is an SG1820? Either way, the guitarist in my old band the clams used to play one and they are fantastic guitars, very rated by those who have owned one.

Only thing i would say about SG`s generally is i would make sure to play one before GASing for them too much. Ive always found them to be totally unique in their feel, some love them, some dont. To me it kinda felt like playing a toy guitar, which was a shame as i love the look and sound of them.

I love the look and sound of SG guitars, but the feel is VEEEEERRRY different...not bad, just different from a Strat or a Tele.

This is a Yamaha SG200 that I bought very used in Minnesota in about 1995 for $75. It was one of my favorite gigging guitars for years and my very first experience with humbuckers. It worked perfectly back then and still does. It was also my first guitar with a set neck.

I love how you immediately know what someone is talking about in terms of guitars. 8)

I'd love a Yamaha SG200, I just can't find any locally for a decent price.
