1989-1990 Yamaha Japan SG-RR Standard TV Yellow & new hard case
£629.00 + shipping
JAPAN IMPORT
The Yamaha "SG-RR" guitars were produced by Yamaha Japan from 1989-1991. There were 3 versions of the guitar. An SG-RR Junior with a bolt on neck & top loading bridge, and SG-RR Standard with a set neck & through body stringing and an SG-RR Custom which also had a Piezo pickup under the bridge!
I would describe these guitars as a lightweight Les Paul Junior style guitar but with P-90s. Just 3.19kg so, lightweight & really easy and fun to play. Simple controls & great sounding pickups
This guitar came in with an old gig bag. The guitar will fit in a Thomann rectangular moulded case. As far as I can tell, everything looks original and this is a great & affordable guitar to collect for the future.

As said many times, all my guitars come shipped in a new black hard case which is included in the price. I find this is the safest way to avoid damage in transit. Alternatively, if you are collecting the guitar and, like some buyers have cases coming out of their ears, that's no problem, I'll adjust the price (usually around a £50 discount) and I can usually find you an old gigbag to take the guitar away in. The only hard and fast rule I have is that I won't ship a guitar in a gigbag.
If you are further interested in this guitar, you can either email me with any queries & I'll do my best to get back to you within 24 hours.
Or, you can buy quickly and safely using the PayPal "buy now" button and I will ship to most UK addresses the next working day. Highlands and Islands can be slightly dearer but I'll keep the cost as low as I can.
I can accept credit card payments by phone and will also offer a small discount to purchasers using bank transfer payments.
Overseas customers are very welcome but please email me first for shipping quotes.
