Any similarities with the SA30 or is it an entirely different beast?

Re: Cool restoration
Thanks guys. there are plenty of us home restorers out there I saw your "mickey mouse" restoration - impressive. Any word of advice regarding what glue to use for a plastic on wood binding. I did the top one with Araldite but sanding the excessive glue bits off is not easy as the glue dust...

Re: Cool restoration
Hey, I was too embarrassed to put it on this forum, as some of you appear to be sh*t hot restorers. I am only a simple dude giving it a go.... Have a look here:

Re: Cool restoration
Thanks for that. Fascinating, read the whole article. I'm restoring an old ('69 or so) Yamaha and my hours are increasing rapidly.
Still a long way to go, but hope to finish before Christmas.

Re: 1960's/70's Yamaha SA30
Questions sort of resolved in other thread.
Here's a pic of the 'dog' - hard to see the state she is on such a small picture... (Note the bone nut)
Once the 'dog' has turned into a princess I shall post a pic again. Several midnights will be required though...

Re: 1960's/70's Yamaha SA30
Okay, I don't get it... we have Jimmy with an SA50 and DC with an SA30? An one of them has been given a centre block and the other is still a virgin? And you wanna swap the block??? More seriously, I recently 'acquired' an abused cherry red SA30. The abuse was in the form of heat damage, followed by...

I see this is a very old post but hey, may be it is still being read.
That looks like a nice Yamaha SA50 without the tremolo bar. Have you finished restoring it?

Re: ES-335 Alternatives
How do the newer yamaha hollowbodies compare to the 70s-80s? Have they kept their quality up? We are talking 335 alternatives here so only 3 new Yamaha super axes qualify. The top of the line is the SA2200. I have no experience with them but read on some Yamaha dedicated forum the following: "...

Re: ES-335 Alternatives
Don't wait too long... your fingers may not last that long...That's what I see myself playing when I get old.
A young guy in my mate's band loves playing it, walking back and forward to the amp to 'play' with the feedback...

Re: ES-335 Alternatives
Time to bring this thread back to life! SA50, SA700, SA2000, etc. All very nice guitars... No one has mentioned the SA60 and SA90. So here a couple of pics of my SA60. Second half of the '70s. Fantastic guitar. All original.
