Seller's description

Reverty Used Guitars Japan — every instrument inspected, set up, and played before listing. 1995-1996 Yamaha SG-12AS "Flying Samurai" 12-String - 30th Anniversary Reissue, MIJ This is a Yamaha SG-12AS, the 12-string version of Yamaha's 30th Anniversary reissue series that revived the company's first-generation SG offset design of the mid-1960s. Built in Japan by Nippon Gakki, it wears the Vintage Yellow (VY) finish with full gold-plated hardware and comes with its original Yamaha hard case. The 30th Anniversary series was produced only in the mid-1990s and in small numbers. While the six-string SG-7AS appears on the used market from time to time, the 12-string SG-12AS seldom comes up for sale. The pickup layout is distinctive: a single coil in the neck position, and a bridge unit that looks like a humbucker but is in fact built from two separate single coils, blended by a dedicated balance control. Combined with the Yamaha vibrato unit, it delivers the shimmering, chiming voice that only an electric 12-string can produce. == SPECIFICATIONS == - Model: SG-12AS (30th Anniversary limited model) - Year: 1995-1996 - Serial: R105 - Country of Origin: Japan (Nippon Gakki / Yamaha) - Color: Vintage Yellow (VY) - Body: Katsura - Neck: Maple - Fingerboard: Rosewood - String Configuration: 12-string - Pickups: Single coil (neck) + two-coil bridge unit (two single coils) - Controls: Volume, Tone, Balance (blends the two bridge coils) - Switch: 3-way toggle - Bridge/Tailpiece: Gold-plated adjustable bridge with Yamaha vibrato tailpiece - Hardware: Gold-plated - Weight: 4.05 kg == CONDITION == Overall: Very Good - Body: Light playwear and fine swirl/polish marks, mainly on the back.
