stustuststustu Posted March 15, 2024 Posted March 15, 2024 Hi all. Have the opportunity to get a lovely 1988 Yamaha sa1100 in black or.......for substantially more, a 22 Yamaha sa2200. How over the years have these guitars changed? From what I can gather the craftsmanship has always generally been impeccable but Im anxious to know any differences subtle or not so between the 2 guitars. Your guidance is appreciated. Quote
Dad3353 Posted March 15, 2024 Posted March 15, 2024 Can't go wrong with either, I'd say. Here's a video playing both... The big difference would be the golden hardware, and the push-pull coil splitting on the 2200... 'The Yamaha SA-2200 is a Japanese made ES-335 style semi-hollowbody electric guitar model first introduced in 1992. The SA-2200 is similar to the SA-1100 but with fancier appointments including gold-plated hardware, split block inlaid ebony fretboard and multi-ply body and headstock binding. The finger board has 22 medium gauge frets. Pickups are two Yamaha Alnico V humbuckers, which can be coil tapped using the SA-2200's push-pull tone knobs. The SA2200 has a stop tailpiece and tune-o-matic style bridge.' Quote
