1982 Yamaha SG3000; Weight is 4.5kg
Serial number is 086683, which dates it to 1982 according to this (page 3):

Not quite mint but very nice clean condition for a guitar this age. One of the highest regarded vintage MIJ guitars.
Has a neck through design for long sustain (Carlos Santana was an advisor on the design of the SG line and he wanted sustain).
I once read that these guitars were so labor intensive and costly to produce that Yamaha lost money on them, but they were kept in the lineup as some kind of flagship. Immaculate materials and craftsmanship.
If you look closely at the pictures, you can see the aged patina of the finish that is starting to shrink, showing the grain in the wood.
S$3,000 local pickup with Yamaha case.
Check out my other guitars for sale too, I have still about 20 for sale and hundreds of detailed photos of them. Most of them high end Japanese, newer and vintage.
