Description

The SC400 Vintage Electric Guitar made in Japan by Yamaha

The Yamaha SC400 is a vintage solid-body electric guitar from the early 1980s, known for its quality Japanese craftsmanship and unique blend of classic and slightly offset design elements. It features a set-in mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard, delivering warm resonance and smooth playability that stands out from bolt-on designs. Equipped with three Yamaha single-coil pickups and a fixed hardtail bridge, it offers a rich, articulate tone that works well clean or driven through an amp. Its distinctive look and feel alongside solid build quality make it a collectible choice for players looking for something a bit different from the usual Strat-style guitars.
