1986 Yamaha SG7 Blue Jeans Custom 20th Anniversary Black
Up for sale, a 1986 Yamaha SG7 Blue Jeans Custom 20th Anniversary edition in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Released to commemorate the highest-tier original “flying samurai” model, this SG7 sports a Black body/headstock refinish accented by gold hardware. The first “flying samurai” guitar was designed in conjunction with Japanese surf guitar legend Takeshi Terauchi, and the original SG-5A “Blue Jeans Custom” model was only produced for one year (1967), achieving a mythic status among Japanese surf guitarists that led to later reissues. Of those reissues, this is among the finest ever made, produced to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of that iconic instrument.
Tonewoods include an alder body, maple neck and bound rosewood fretboard, yielding a smooth, balanced natural acoustic tone. Tonally, the trio of single coil pickups offer bold, sparkling cleans with plenty of meat and roundness, yet clear and defined in every pickup position. The middle and bridge pickups are coupled both visually and tonally, with a blend pot for a smooth gradient between the coils. This SG7 Blue Jeans Custom 20th Anniversary weighs 8lbs 12oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action and accurate intonation.
