The SA1000 went into production in December 1977, and this example's serial number (001249) places it in the 1977-1978 period. It has been fitted with DiMarzio (USA) humbuckers. Yamaha's Super Axe line is highly regarded among players for its set mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and solid Japanese build quality from the golden age of Japanese guitar manufacturing. This SA1000 wears a deep brown finish with cream binding on the top, back and fingerboard. It's a great choice for players who want a vintage MIJ semi-hollow with a different pickup voice from the original. == SPECIFICATIONS == - Model: Yamaha SA1000 Super Axe - Year: 1977-1978 - Serial: 001249 - Country of Origin: Japan - Color: Brown - Body: Semi-hollow double cutaway with f-holes, bound top and back - Neck: Mahogany, set neck - Fingerboard: Ebony with dot inlays, bound - Scale: 24.75" - Pickups: Two DiMarzio humbuckers (USA), non-original (replaced from the factory Yamaha pickups) - Controls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone - Switches: 3-way pickup selector toggle - Bridge: Tune-o-matic style bridge with stop tailpiece - Tuners: Yamaha Japan stamped sealed tuners - Weight: 4.1 kg (approx. 9.0 lbs) == CONDITION == Overall: Very Good - Body: Scratches and playwear consistent with age - Neck: Straight - Frets: Approximately 60-70% remaining - Hardware: Tarnish on metal parts (vintage patina) - Pickups: DiMarzio humbuckers installed (not factory original) - Pickguard: Not fitted All electronics function correctly.
