The SG1000 rock sound starts with a maple on mahogany body fitted with a set mahogany neck. The set neck design delivers a characteristically bright and commanding tone with a powerful attack, while the bi-sound system offers a rich array of tonal variation. The new SBG1000 takes advantage of Yamaha's original Initial Response Acceleration to deliver a tone with greater resonance.
Set Neck Design
The set neck design joins the mahogany neck with the maple top and mahogany back to deliver a bright rock sound with a strong attack.
30th Anniversary Handcrafted Double-Cutaway Electric Guitar
Commemorating the 30th anniversary of the celebrated SG2000 and SG1000, Yamaha US has released the SBG2000 and SBG1000 guitars. Both models are individually handcrafted by the highly skilled master luthiers of the Yamaha Music Craft workshop in Hamamatsu, Japan. The one new feature that has been added to the SBG series is Yamaha’s “Initial Response Acceleration” which is a Yamaha technique that accelerates the maturing process of the guitar creating tonal sweet spots and increased stability, which allows the guitar to rapidly develop its unique personality as if it has been played for years.
