Found this which was interesting. Mine's definitely the 15, not 15D and it seems 1968/69 is the age.

Re: NOSGD
That is very definitely Kdawg2a approved. Of all the oddities in the guitar world to cross my path, I've never had a 60s Yamaha electric. I'd love to give on a try!
Great score Bruce!

Really? My ears would say single coils but I'm happy to be corrected.Jay wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 9:53 pmThat article is quite wrong on a number of points... the pickups are humbuckers, not single coils.Slowy wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 9:19 pm https://www.premierguitar.com/pro-advic ... maha-sa15d

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: NOSGD
So I've spent a couple of hours with this beastie this morning:
Tiny frets do take a bit of getting used to.
The weird behaviour of the pots and switch is like the interactive controls of a 5E3 Fender or Vox. Twiddle everything in a random manner and suddenly tone will appear. The tiniest movement of a pot can make all the difference.
And I mentioned tone. It's big and warm and punchy like Tyson. It's stupid grin good. This thing's brilliant! A genuinely excellent vintage guitar for a used Strymon price. I'm as chuffed as a very chuffed thing indeed.
And it hasn't met Timmy yet.

I suppose that means you'll only believe me once you see the two coils inside with your own eyes.Slowy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 5:46 amReally?

Check out Mr Glynn's website. He has a post somewhere discussing this very pickup and why its sound is so unique for a humbucker.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Re: NOSGD
Congrats Mr Slowy. I had that on my watchlist along with the two other SA5's on TM on the moment. Although, I see one has been removed by the seller. I'm gassing big time for a vintage yammie after borrowing a mates 30 a wee while ago. Probably the comfiest neck ive played (for my hands anyway), and just so darn cool looking.Slowy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 7:01 am So I've spent a couple of hours with this beastie this morning:

Think I made a typo here. Dave's looking to buy, not sell.
