Mosrite Inspired Yamahas

[sonichris]

Since I don't have any Mosrites to share pictures of, here's some pics of my 60's vintage Yamahas.

This one is a '66 SG-2 kind of a cross between a Fender Jaguar, and a Mosrite, kinda.... It sounds more like a Fender.



This one is a little more Mosrite-y. Its a '69 SG-2a. It covers the Mosrite sound very well, I think.



I bought the sunburst on craigslist, sans strings, and fixed it up a bit. It's really great. I bought the blue one as a backup on ebay, and since they have the same tremolo and pickups, figured it would sound similar. They don't. Two totally different sounding guitars.

That reminds me, I saw a picture of a guitar that looked like a Bluesbender in a book I have. I think it was a Yamaha but I couldn't find pictures of it on the internet so I may have to take a pic of it from the book, Upload it and link to it here. By the way, How well do the vibratos work on those guitars?

Only Link Wray is cool enough for an SG-2. Contact me if you ever want to seel yours. NICE guitar.

One of my friends have a red SG-2 from 1967. All those guitars are really fun to play.

Actualy Im selling that Yamaha and a Fender Mustang CIJ. I need money and I cant keep so many basses right now.

The SB-1c is great for recording or playing at home, but its not the best for shows with big PA systems.
