Legendary Electric Guitars 

Yamaha developed the SG Series with a single goal in mind; to create the best electric guitar possible, without any compromise. The design was based upon the top guitars at the time, but every single detail was reconsidered from the ground up. Not only were the body and neck redesigned, but so were the pickups and bridge. In fact, everything right down to the circuitry and strap pins was original. Some features, which are now considered standard on any guitar, were first developed for the SG. The SG2000 features a long sustain and is very popular with jazz and fusion artists. The SG1000 was created with rock guitarists in mind and is characterized by a sharper attack. Both are handcrafted and the longevity of their popularity is a testament to their outstanding quality. The SG Series guitars are legendary among musicians around the world. 

The SG2000 and SG1000 are individually hand crafted by highly skilled master luthiers on a dedicated production line at Yamaha Music Craft in Hamamatsu, Japan, where top-of-the-line handcrafted acoustic and custom guitars are produced. Both guitars also feature Initial Response Acceleration (IRA), a Yamaha original manufacturing technique that is utilized on violins, etc. The SG has evolved to the next dimension.
