Up for sale is a Yamaha flagship semi-hollow model SA2000S. Made in Japan, s/n 023164 which corresponds to 1980, according to Yamaha official serial chart. This model is widely regarded as "ES-335 killer" and for a good reason - it's just one of the best ES-335 guitars money can buy.

Woods are solid spruce top, maple body with massive central block, mahogany neck, ebony fretboard. Electronics are two humbuckers with split-coil option. Scale is 635 mm, nut is 43 mm. Super comfortable neck profile. Finished in gorgeous tobacco sunburst. One tone potentiometer was replaced due to malfunction, everything else seems to be original. Workmanship quality is flawless, as one would expect for high-end Yamaha models.

Excellent condition for 45 years old insturment - there is a general feel use, some small dings/scratches here and there, but nothing really worth mentioning. Neck geometry is fine, Frets show no wear. Electronics are fully operational. Strings are set at comfortable height.

This guitar sounds fantastic - mature semi-hollow tone, sustain, dynamics, you have it here. SA2000 are extremely versatile instruments - one can easily play jazz, blues, commercial pop, indie rock and even some heavy music on it. There are plenty demos online, I could record a special one for you if necessary. Comes in deluxe hardshell case which is a tad larger than guitar dimensions but still suitable enough for storage and transport.
