SG3000/2000/1000
The SG1000 with its set-neck body design and specially designed powerful pick-
ups delivers great rock sound and attack. The SG2000 with its thru-neck body
and sustain plate delivers rich sustain and premium tone. The SG3000 with its
thru-neck construction and select woods delivers a rich, wood in
fl
uenced tone.
Everything is designed speci
fi
cally for the SG, from body and neck designs, to
pickups, bridges, circuitry, even down to the strap pins. As a last touch, Yamaha’s
Initial Response Acceleration is applied for a matured resonance.

Semi Open Humbucking
Pickup (SG2000/1000)
This original pickup was developed
with an Alnico V alloy magnet for use
on the SG. It produces a fat sound
that is sweet and rich. Other original
Yamaha designs utilized here are the
semi-open cover, which contributes
both to noise prevention and power
output, and triple support escutcheon,
which adjusts pickup height and angle.
T Cross Maple (Neck Through)
Design (SG3000/2000)
Body and neck are integrated into a
single structure that lets string vibration
loop through the string, neck, and body,
reducing energy loss and delivering long
sustain. The cross maple design creates
a T shape that blends the tonal qualities
of maple; good for high-range sustain,
and mahogany; good for low-range
sustain, to produce long sustain that is
well balanced over a wide tonal range.
Set Neck Design (SG1000)
T h e s e t n e c k d e s i g n j o i n s t h e
mahogany neck with the maple top
and mahogany back to deliver a bright
rock sound with a strong attack.
Die-Cast Bridge
The highly rigid die-cast bridge is
assembled directly to the body. Its
well thought design offers a wider
adjustment range that allows accurate
s t r i n g h e i g h t a n d o c t av e p i tc h
adjustment. A sustain plate placed
underneath the bridge on the SG2000
produces richer sustain.

Over Binding Frets
This precision design extends the
fret all the way to the edge of the
fi
ngerboard, ending at a point above
the binding. It prevents string drops
when bending or vibrating the strings,
and offers dynamic performance.
Bi-Sound System
A quick pull of the tone control knob
switches between Humbucker and single
coil tone.
Pickup and Escutcheon
(SG3000)
Utilizing a full cover type pickup cover
delivers a milder tone by minimizing
high frequencies. Compared to plastic,
the brass escutcheon promotes a
more ef
fi
cient
fl
ow of body vibrations
to the pickup generating substantial
sustain.
Shell Binding (SG3000)
This precision The SG’s smooth
bodylines are beautifully accented
with Mexican Abalone binding.
