There is a tiny dink on the surface near the binding and some buckle rash that I will try to photograph in better lightĬurrently in D standard with coated 11s. Articulate enough for cleans and heft enough to work with gain and effects. It has the push/pull bass cut which is good for tightening things up with gain or just if you want a more Fendery sort of clean sound The pickups are excellent, sitting somewhere between vintage and modern. The inlays are MOP and quite fetching IRL There are no tuning issues with the Bigsby, it is rock solid. It plays perfectly up and down the neck now with nice low action and no choking or buzzing. When I got it the frets were a bit sharp so I took it to Phil Jones who dressed them and levelled them as well, so it's had the full works. It is fairly heavy and has a fat round profile neck (like a Gibson!). Quality-wise I would put this on par with Gibson USA. I just got a birth year Yamaha SG1000 and they are very similar, so one has to go I got a lot of use out of this and it was a favourite. Collection or meetup is also welcomeįirst up this Yamaha Revstar 720BX. Can also meet in a sensible radius from Bristol, or you could come and get it. I'll reserve a few spots on the thread and post each guitar in its own post
Been putting this off for a while but need to slim the collection down because it's getting silly
