It is the gold-hardware model of the SGV line, sold for the Japanese domestic market and long discontinued.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets it apart is the pickup layout: a slanted single coil at the neck and a \"double single\" unit at the bridge that wires two single coils in parallel. A dedicated balancer knob sweeps the mix between those two coils, and combined with the three-position selector it covers a wide range - from thin, snappy surf-flavored tones to a fuller, rounder voice. The SGV tremolo unit runs on ball bearings with roller saddles for smooth arm work. Pearl Green was one of the colors offered during the early production run of this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e== SPECIFICATIONS ==\u003cbr\u003e- Model: Yamaha SGV700\u003cbr\u003e- Year: Not specified (serial number not recorded)\u003cbr\u003e- Country of Origin: Taiwan (Kaohsiung Yamaha) - Japanese domestic market model\u003cbr\u003e- Color: Pearl Green\u003cbr\u003e- Body: Alder\u003cbr\u003e- Neck: Maple, bolt-on\u003cbr\u003e- Fingerboard: Rosewood, 22 frets\u003cbr\u003e- Scale: 628.6 mm (24.75\")\u003cbr\u003e- Pickups: Three Yamaha original single coils (slanted neck single; bridge \"double single\" with two coils wired in parallel)\u003cbr\u003e- Controls: Volume, Tone, Pickup Balancer\u003cbr\u003e- Switch: 3-position pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e- Bridge: SGV tremolo unit with ball bearings and roller saddles\u003cbr\u003e- Hardware: Gold-plated\u003cbr\u003e- Pickguard: 3-ply white\u003cbr\u003e- Weight: 3.55 kg\u003cbr\u003e- Original list price when new: 65,000 yen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e== CONDITION ==\u003cbr\u003eOverall: Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Body: Playwear consistent with age\u003cbr\u003e- Neck: Straight\u003cbr\u003e- Frets: Approximately 70-80% remaining\u003cbr\u003e- Hardware: Slight tarnish on the gold parts (vintage patina)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar plays well and all electronics function correctly.

It offers something no Strat or Jazzmaster can: the balancer-controlled double-single circuit and the roller-saddle SGV vibrato, wrapped in one of the most recognizable body shapes in Japanese guitar history. With straight neck, healthy frets and the original arm and soft case still present, this is a complete, ready-to-play example rather than a project piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease feel free to message with any questions before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSETUP \u0026amp; INSPECTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCleaned, set up, and inspected by our luthier before shipping:\u003cbr\u003e- Neck relief and action adjusted\u003cbr\u003e- Frets and fingerboard cleaned\u003cbr\u003e- Intonation set\u003cbr\u003e- Tuners and electronics checked\u003cbr\u003eYour instrument arrives ready to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING FROM JAPAN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Shipped worldwide from Japan with full tracking and insurance\u003cbr\u003e- Carefully packed with protective wrapping, strings detuned to relieve neck tension in transit\u003cbr\u003e- Processed and shipped within 2-4 business days\u003cbr\u003ePlease message us with any questions before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reverty Used Guitars Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50046552572146,"sku":"YAM_SGV700_0906","price":115100.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/3113\/3426\/files\/01_e655b54c-9817-41dc-8a68-d43fc304c8dd.jpg?v=1788942806","url":"https:\/\/revertyjapan.com\/products\/yamaha-sgv700-pearl-green-flying-samurai-sg-5-style-gold-parts-japan-market","provider":"Reverty Used Guitars Japan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
