The SA2200 is an incredible electric guitar. Versatile is a word that must have been invented for this extraordinary instrument and capable of cutting the mustard with any style of music. Check out this clip of French Jazz virtuoso Bireli Lagrene with his SA2200.
The Yamaha SA2200 combines a classic design with outstanding craftsmanship, premium materials and player-focused features to create a guitar that perfectly combines looks, sound and playability.
The SA2200 semi-hollow body electric guitar features beautifully flamed laminated Sycamore timber in its construction.
Hand Crafted in Japan by Yamaha’s most experienced Luthiers, the SA2200 represents the pinnacle of semi-hollow body design.
A pair of Yamaha AlNICo Humbucking pickups offer up a broad range of tones with coil taps on the tone controls taking you into single coil twang territory. A Maple centre block ensures that feedback is controlled when these pickups are in full flight.
The detailing of the SA2200 is simply superb with top-shelf gold-plated hardware, split block inlaid ebony fretboard and multi-bound body and headstock detailing.
The headstock angle is slightly flatter than the classic 17 degree angle used by Gibson, with Yamaha choosing to retain the volute to help strengthen the area behind the nut. The use of a shallower headstock angle is being used by more manufacturers – Suhr for example have used something similar on their new singlecut model. The finger board uses medium gauge (2.54mm x 1.2mm) frets, which extend over the single edge binding providing an excellent surface for big string bends and wide vibrato.
With the inclusion of our PRO-SCM setup, this Yamaha SA2200 is a guitar that you will find hard to put down.
