Description

The Yamaha SG-2C "Flying Banana" is a delightful nod to the eccentric and innovative designs of the 1960s. Originally crafted by Nippon Gakki in Japan, this guitar is a testament to Yamaha's legacy of combining unique aesthetics with exceptional playability. Its distinct silhouette and vibrant character make it a standout choice for musicians who embrace both style and substance.

Underneath its eye-catching exterior lies a basswood body, offering a well-balanced tonal foundation that's both resonant and lightweight. The bolt-on maple neck, paired with a blackwood fingerboard, ensures smooth playability, complemented by a comfortable 12" radius. With 22 frets and a 24 3/4" scale length, it provides a familiar feel for seasoned guitarists and newcomers alike.

The "Flying Banana" is equipped with dual vintage-style single-coil pickups, delivering a classic, articulate sound that's perfect for a range of musical genres. The vintage-style tremolo and roller bridge enhance its expressive capabilities, allowing for subtle pitch variations and smooth dynamics. For added versatility, the guitar features a 3-way switch, master volume, and dual tone controls, giving you the freedom to shape your sound with precision.

Finished with high-quality Gotoh nickel/chrome hardware, the Yamaha SG-2C is as durable as it is striking. Whether you're a collector of rare guitars or a musician seeking an instrument that stands out both visually and sonically, the "Flying Banana" is a compelling choice.
