Explanation
"I want to produce the ultimate lead guitar tone with endlessly extending sustain and a thick, powerful core," "but I'm looking for a legendary guitar with a unique presence and overwhelming persuasiveness that I can't get from mainstream overseas brands." Are you looking for a true flagship model that will overwhelm other players with both its sustain and presence?
The history of the Yamaha SG began in 1965 with the passionate command of the then-president of Yamaha, the late Genichi Kawakami, to create everything from scratch. The craftsmen's challenge to showcase a uniquely Japanese identity to the world, rather than simply copying overseas models, eventually culminated in an encounter with the legendary guitarist, Carlos Santana.
However, the length of sustain and the cohesiveness of the attack cannot be achieved simply by using a neck-through design. To realize the ideal sound that Santana sought to the extreme, it was necessary to develop a rigorous structure that defied the conventional wisdom of guitar manufacturing at the time. The SG2000 is the culmination of time, effort, and passion that mass-produced models can never replicate.
Directly embodying Santana's vision, this is the pinnacle of Yamaha SG, reigning as the absolute flagship model since its debut in July 1976. The Yamaha SG2000, a timeless masterpiece that Japan proudly presents to the world, has reached the milestone of exactly half a century since its creation. It incorporates unparalleled, original technology that has satisfied global legends.
Despite having a neck-through construction, it features a T-cross construction, which is extremely time-consuming, with luxurious maple wood glued to the body top.RecruitIt perfectly blends the overwhelming sustain unique to a neck-through design with the clear, well-defined attack provided by maple.
A heavy brass sustain block is embedded directly beneath the bridge. This transmits string vibrations directly to the depths of the body, achieving the sweet and resonant tone that Carlos Santana loved.
This guitar directly inherits the specifications of the legendary custom model SG175B, created for Santana. Its beautifully symmetrical body lines and elegant decorations exude a majestic aura befitting a flagship model.
Fifty years have passed since its birth in 1976. This instrument has continued to captivate many legends in sessions and on stages both domestically and internationally, and has become the cornerstone of all Yamaha SG models. For guitarists seeking the ultimate Japanese original, with its unforgettable sustain and instantly recognizable Yamaha sound, there is nothing that surpasses this flagship model. It is a truly historic masterpiece that can lead a band with its outstanding presence even in modern ensembles.
A legacy of supreme achievement, half a century after its birth, where Japanese pride rewrote the history of world music. Experience the boundless sustain and exquisite tone that captivated Carlos Santana.
