1966 Yamaha SA-30T – Tym Guitars Online

tymguitars.com.au

The 1966 Yamaha SA-30T is a hidden gem from the golden era of Japanese guitar manufacturing. Praised for its impeccable craftsmanship and unique design, it stands toe-to-toe with more famous counterparts like Gibson. Its thin, hollow body and exquisite detailing, such as inlaid F-holes, showcase Yamaha's attention to quality. The in-house pickups deliver a clear yet jangly tone, and the innovative "Balance" pot offers versatile soundscapes. While the vibrato system and roller bridge are engineering marvels, the lack of neck binding or block inlays may deter some purists. Still, this vintage beauty remains a joy to play and a testament to Yamaha's commitment to quality, making it worth every penny for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Jimmy Page is documented using a Yamaha SA-30T guitar during the 1972 Led Zeppelin tour in Japan. The Yamaha SA series includes several semi-hollow guitars, and the defining feature of the SA-30T is its thick tremolo arm, which is visible in the image provided as proof.

I couldn't find any photos online of him playing this guitar live on this tour, and I haven't found any further information about him playing it live or on recordings, or even owning it, since then. Based on all of this, it's highly likely that he only played it temporarily during rehearsals backstage on the Japanese tour.
