Hi stevie i got a yamaha sg 2000 last year and its in new condition. I worked with guitars for more than 40 years in my shop wich i sold last year and also like you this guitar allwys intriged me so after a long time lsearching i finally got my sg! I play also custom shop fenders but this is one of my facourite players! Greetings from the netherlands!
I'm obsessed with Yamaha SGs, they're my favorite guitars of all time. I have one and I can attest to its status as a Les Paul killer. I never went back to mine after I played it. Beautiful, well-crafted guitars, amazing for doom/stoner metal and pretty much anything else too. They'll break your back but they sound incredible. They can be a bit hard to find in the States sometimes but there's plenty of them on the used market over in Japan. Let's hear a demo!
it will Never kill my love for my Black Double cut Les paul and my Black SG by Gibson but with that said i do ADORE this Yamaha Guitar style and anything that resembles this badass SG vintage styles is just my absolute love also huge Goth Doom Metal guy here so is all connected 🤟 beautiful Guitar, specially the Black version this Yamaha guitars are truly among the tragically underrated list of mine
The Yamaha Sg 2000 is a fantastic guitar. I played one for several years, I purchased it because Carlos Santana was playing one at the time and he was one of my heroes. another guitar I had that's a little more obscure was a Hagstrom Swede, it looked similar to a Les Paul, it had an attractive wood grain finish, and the quality was honestly pretty decent.
I own 7 les Paul's & 7 sg's & just a 81 sbg Yamaha & oh boy what a sleeper an amazing beast. it's definitely a keeper. I traded for an 2013 sg 61-r and don't regret it at all it is definitely a les Paul killer. 👌
@@alitosvarglitos6500 Better is subjective, but the 2000 definitely has more expensive appointments. Mainly the neck thru vs set neck construction and the quality of the top.
She looks a winner. Always wondered what Yamaha sg's felt like. One I've always really liked the look of is the Gibson 'The sg'. Natural, simple and with the jackplug socket on the side. Original pickups are very highly regarded, apparently.
@@DoesItDoom For the neck probably but I think the zebra in the bridge was more unique and is frequently stripped out. May have been another Tim Shaw. Troggly done a great video about them.
Nice! I own one, I think 1981, it is awesome. I have a collection of vintage Yamahas, and I think 30 years from now they will be considered some of the best guitars.
Ive owned an SG2000 and it was probably the best guitar I've ever owned. I do have a yamaha RS620 as well and have to say, it's amazing. Yamaha make top quality instruments.
Happy for u man! Nice one! Next a playthrough video right? Me, I always wanted a charvel guitar as a kid, for some reason I can't explain, and hopefully a friend of mine is gonna give me his over a couple of beers! So yeah!
I got a black Yamaha SG510, a cheaper version of the 2000, a few months ago after seeing your sweet First Act and looking for something similar that I could afford. I am glad that I got the Yamaha before you turned everyone onto them. I am still waiting for my Behringer Fuzz. 👍🏻
IMO LITERALLY THE BEST ELECTRIC GUITAR EVER MADE! I have a 1977 SG2000 and have a 1988 SG3000 Custom on the way. My 2000 is in C Standard and DOOMS LIKE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE! Hell the emails on Preorder your 2023 Woodrite Warlord! LOOK LIKE AN OLD SG! FUCKING AWESOME GUITARS!
@Does it Doom? Could you do a comparison video with the DC Lola? How do you like it so far? I recently managed to find a 2006 model of the SG2000, and would like to hear the original.
Man I ended up taking the option to return the Yamaha. The finish blushing was just really bad. I felt like it sounded great and played well. Lots of sustain. Neck was a bit thin for my liking-my Lola has a ‘59 LP style carve.
@@DoesItDoom Allright, yes that makes sense, a pity though! Clouding of the finish seems to be relatively common issue with these vintage SG's. I also agree with the neck being surprisingly slim, especially considering the weight. I also have the more modern take on this model, SG1820, which has a thicker neck - I guess it's a medium C shape or something similar.
I have 2 ('76-'79) SG1500s in this same finish, but with chrome hardware and dot inlays. They rarely get played...but that's about to change. I just dropped one of them off for some much needed attention. The parts, such bridge and tailpiece are VERY hard to come by! A wide, padded strap is highly recommended...as are strap locks!! You don't want to drop one of these on your foot!!
The 2000 was actually designed to Santana's spec's, Yamaha went to him with the 700 I believe and he basically said what he didn't like about it so they made the 2000, freaking great guitar, I have a 79 tobacco burst, was my great white buffalo since I played my uncle's SG in 85, wanted one ever since.
Great video Steve, I was waiting for you to plug that thing in man!!! To answer your question, the guitar you were holding is my fantasy axe!!! It’s way outside my price point though. I like that body shape a lot more than my Epiphone SG. Hope you’re gonna let us see/hear that beast when you’re done tweaking it out???!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Chris Curran Thanks, Chris. Was really late at night when I was shooting and I got tired. Lol. The finish is just really bad, unfortunately. I think I’m going to return this one and hunt down another.
Does It Doom? Sorry to hear that brother, been down that road before though. You get something you’ve been waiting for and it’s not as cool as you hoped, sucks!!! I hope the next one nails it. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
That’s a bummer it doesn’t have the original pickups... I can’t remember if Maxxon made them, but my ‘79 SG sounds like someone put a fuzz effect into the guitar. Only my Kramer aluminum neck sounds close to these things. I used to own four Les Pauls and one Yamaha SG. Now I own one Les Paul, and three of these.
How about an old ibanez ar300? Ive always loved how those look and curious how they sound/feel. Also, what do you think of the new yamaha revstar stuff? I got a japanese made rsp20cr on its way to me from sweetwater so ill be answeing my own question about that soon
The esp ltd viper baritone I bought and customized myself has been a perfect doom machine because I didnt want to spend a fortune for a Gibson sg and neither them or epiphone made baritone versions
Very nice guitar. Never played any but i've heard lots of positive feedback on those. Funny to see that Yamaha has recycled their SG shape on the revstar.
I'd love to pick up a Yamaha Revstar, or a 70s SG/Les Paul. And I wouldn't mind an ESP or LTD Eclipse. I have one now, but it's pretty low end. I've just never been able to afford any of those guitars tbh. It sucks being a student lol.
I have a Yamaha SF1000 from the same era. If the Yamaha SG is Yamaha's response to a Gibson Les Paul, The SF1000 seems to be yamaha's response to a Gibson SG. I love it. Best guitar I own.
Why they pickups change .those old Yamahas are like gold. Stick to stock when you can ..it would only increase in value ..anyway good find .I have known these and the 3000 are def beast heavy great instruments since the 80s..glad to see that people dig em too.
It says SG and looks the part but the tone of all three series is pure les Paul. I heard no SG when playing several of them. Sooo...do you prefer your vintage OR head or your Matamp? Really curious
The pickup in the bridge was already unoriginal. Unfortunately due to all the finish issues I decided to return this one, but it really played and sounded great.
I ended up returning it. The finish was just kinda gross and overall I much preferred my first act DC-6 guitars in terms of size, shape, and neck profile.
SG2000 looks like a nice one. Too bad one of the original pickups is missing. I doubt whatever they (some previous owner) put in is better than what it came with. The original pups were very well reviewed back in the day. You won't get the full vintage Yamaha SG effect without both of the original open pole high output low impedance and low noise Alnico V's. Some people think as soon as they buy a guitar they have to start pickup swapping. Kind of like buying a new car with a great engine and immediately swapping the motor. Same as swapping out the Burst Buckers on a Gibson....why? The pickups were designed to give the guitar a particular flavor. If they are good you can use them for most things, and anything they can't do can be modified with the amp (or effects pedals etc), even some modeling if you want to go that far. So why start hacking away....especially on a high end and/or/vintage and or/classic guitar? Kind of ignorant, honestly. (I understand on low budget guitars that have very poorly made pickups. Just not on higher end models that come with very good ones.)
yeah these old Yamahas are truly cost effective monster, aside from these weird finish anomaly which just looks ugly at times.....I tried out some SG1000 (set neck and with no sustain block, etc....) which was around 900 dollar range in Japan and man, it felt AMAZING
@@DoesItDoom for older 70s-80s Yamaha, it's apparently common occurrence, its not just SG, ive seen one on some Yamaha ES335-type guitar (I forgot the model name, I think a guy from a post rock band God is an Astronaut used one, his didnt have the blemish tho)
@@TheZooropaBaby Maybe a Yamaha SA2200 or SA1200? And yes the blooming/clouding of the finish appears to be typical to these instruments from the 70's.
Sweet guitar man! Would really like to hear how it sounds with the original pickups prior to swapping them out. One guitar I've been interested in is an Ibanez Rocket Roll Sr. Maybe some day...
Travis Bean... no way I’m spending the money though... owned 5 Kramer DMZ’s and ALL have had bent necks or the wooden inserts have receded too much and caused playing issues.
Given my damaged spine and knee, I can't handle heavy guitars for extended periods, even if they look as gorgeous as this But I'd say some kind of SG Custom with the 3 pickup setup (be it Epiphone or Gibson) is on my radar for a potential buy, in the future
A les paul Tabasco burst I've never been able to touch. The shop by me deal in dean an had like ten guitars .I keep going back but only for pedals .they suck. Then if I do see one I cant afford it. It six to have a cheap guitar and money for somthing better but cant get it..I'd like to hold what I buy before pulling the trigger ..love what your doing bud
I share a birth year with that guitar, and it's in way better condition than I am!😂 I'd love to get a '60s SG junior but sadly I have a mortgage to pay already.
What guitar have you always wanted to own or play but never had the chance? Let me know down in the comments!
90s Made in Japan Fender Jaguar in Lake Placid Blue
1959 gibson Les Paul standard. I'll never be able to afford one.
Cameron Steiner closest I’ve come is a Paul Kossoff R9 I owned at one time. Not the same thing obviously, but cool to feel the neck carve and whatnot.
MonkXD nice!

Carlos Santana played one before he started using PRS.Nice looking Guitar,too bad you didn't play it.
Yes! I believe he convinced them to add the sustain block.
Looks like a sweaty shirtless guy might have caused the blushing on the back.....
Hahaha!! Could be!

It's heavy af. lol. Definitely solid.
Those OG pickups are firebreathers. You should keep an eye out for one. Also, what I with the push push pots?

Absolutely.
Bro unboxed this gem and was completely unphased just lookin at the camera monitor

Hi Steve!
Whats you opinion abot the Yamaha Revstar series?
Is the budget frendly mondels able to play as a decent doom guns?
I would still be more inclined to go with something like the Yamaha SG800 or so for the same price. Revstar looks cool though.
Wow! That’s mind blowing! Dearly love the Yummy SG’s ! Can’t wait to hear you riff away on that 🥰

Researching them now. Cheers dude!
How do you feel about the Yamaha SBG500 ? Looks pretty similar and can be found cheaper!
I dig em. Just a lower end model, still badass.
Carlos Santana was known have played the SG2000.
The esp ltd viper baritone I bought and customized myself has been a perfect doom machine because I didnt want to spend a fortune for a Gibson sg and neither them or epiphone made baritone versions
Some of the best guitars ever made.

Nice score dude

I have Yamaha sgs, I think their pickups sound insanely nice. Mine are in drop a ;)
Always hear praise for the OG pickups.
Very nice guitar. Never played any but i've heard lots of positive feedback on those. Funny to see that Yamaha has recycled their SG shape on the revstar.
Yes. Those look cool.
ive always thought the revstar was based off the yamaha super flighter, still one of yhe prettiest guitars in the world
What a Beauty!!!
For sure!
That shirt is so fucking sick dude!
Grabbed it at a show several years ago. It’s a favorite!
Does It Doom? Geezer is like why am I on this fookin thing mate , its bloody hot in Egypt! Hahaha
any opinions on the new SG-1820's ?
Pretty expensive imo. Id rather search out a cool vintage SG-1000 or SG-2000 for under half the price.
Beautiful, and for sure it sounds great! \m/
lucky man think next i will be getting my first guitar so thinking of a yamaha rs 320 or the yamaha pacifcia which 1 should i get for a beginner
Anyone played the Yamaha RS620? They look great, wondering if I can get that thick fuzz sound.
Yes. Most any solid body guitar with humbuckers will do the trick.

You'll get them one day. I remember those days well.
I had an sbg3000 white. Damn I’m kicking myself now!
I have a Yamaha SF1000 from the same era. If the Yamaha SG is Yamaha's response to a Gibson Les Paul, The SF1000 seems to be yamaha's response to a Gibson SG. I love it. Best guitar I own.
Such nice guitars!
Super Flighter are the inspiration for the new Revstars...
did they ship the guitar detuned and with paper between the strings and fretboard? just curious
Detuned, no paper.
Dream guitar

Great guitar! Too bad the original bridge pup is replaced. The stock pups are tremendous yet sweet.
Why they pickups change .those old Yamahas are like gold. Stick to stock when you can ..it would only increase in value ..anyway good find .I have known these and the 3000 are def beast heavy great instruments since the 80s..glad to see that people dig em too.

No demo? I love the sound of these guitars. Im not super experienced, why have you decided to switch out the pickups from the originals?
The pickup in the bridge was already unoriginal. Unfortunately due to all the finish issues I decided to return this one, but it really played and sounded great.
I wanna pull the trigger on one of these so bad but I fear the neck being crooked and a maxed out truss rod
Did you ever play it on the channel?
I ended up returning it. The finish was just kinda gross and overall I much preferred my first act DC-6 guitars in terms of size, shape, and neck profile.
SG2000 looks like a nice one. Too bad one of the original pickups is missing. I doubt whatever they (some previous owner) put in is better than what it came with.
The original pups were very well reviewed back in the day.
You won't get the full vintage Yamaha SG effect without both of the original open pole high output low impedance and low noise Alnico V's.
Some people think as soon as they buy a guitar they have to start pickup swapping. Kind of like buying a new car with a great engine and immediately swapping the motor.
Same as swapping out the Burst Buckers on a Gibson....why?
The pickups were designed to give the guitar a particular flavor. If they are good you can use them for most things, and anything they can't do can be modified with the amp (or effects pedals etc), even some modeling if you want to go that far. So why start hacking away....especially on a high end and/or/vintage and or/classic guitar?
Kind of ignorant, honestly.
(I understand on low budget guitars that have very poorly made pickups. Just not on higher end models that come with very good ones.)
yeah these old Yamahas are truly cost effective monster, aside from these weird finish anomaly which just looks ugly at times.....I tried out some SG1000 (set neck and with no sustain block, etc....) which was around 900 dollar range in Japan and man, it felt AMAZING

Interesting to hear about the Kramer’s. Have always thought they looked cool but have never heard anyone who’s owned one say they love them.
I'm saving for a fender sixty nine at the minute. It looks like a surf guitar. I'm gonna see if it dooms asap :)
Given my damaged spine and knee, I can't handle heavy guitars for extended periods, even if they look as gorgeous as this
But I'd say some kind of SG Custom with the 3 pickup setup (be it Epiphone or Gibson) is on my radar for a potential buy, in the future
Are the new Yamaha revstar's based on these?
I wouldn’t say they are based on them. But I don’t really know.
It seems like Revstar are based on SGs and Super Flighters
You should compare it to a more modern Revstar series guitar
Would make a cool comparison for sure!
SBG by Yamaha is the most beautiful guitar in the world, nothing else to say, but never forever will be a Gibson
