Yamaha SBV-550
Does it get any cooler than this? The Flying Samurai guitars from Yamaha were originally introduced in the sixties, taking inspiration from Mosrite and adding a large dollop of Japanese style for good measure. It wasn't until the 2000's when Yamaha started building these beauties again, with a full range of SGV guitars and SBV basses.
Our SBV-550 is one of the gems from the reissue line, with a PJ pickup configuration and gorgeous Blue Sparkle finish!
Spec:
- Alder body
- Maple neck with Rosewood fingerboard
- Slim neck
- Comfortable C neck profile
- Yamaha J-Style pickup in the bridge
- Yamaha Split-Coil P-Style pickup in the middle
- 2x Volume control
- Master Tone control
- Chrome vintage style bridge
Our SBV is in excellent condition a few age related marks are present but nothing unsightly.
