Product Description
1977, Made In Japan serial
SA700, Super Axe model
Gibson “335” style hollow body
Only produced from 1977-1983 in Persimmon Red or Yellow Natural
This is the Persimmon Red finish
From the very FIRST YEAR of production
It is a true to “335” model, semi acoustic with centre block
It is as close as you will get to the real thing, but FAR more affordable
24 3/4” scale length, mahogany neck (as is a “335”)
Incredibly comfortable neck, with a nice action and playability
Traditional “C” profile - non taper
Modern and flat 14” radius fretboard
Mother of pearl dot inlays
Maple body top, back, and sides
Great natural resonance and a ton of sustain
Full body binding, with neck binding
Gotoh made, Yamaha-branded sealed tuners
PAF-style humbucking pickups
Excellent overall condition for a vintage 48 year old guitar
Would make an incredible addition for the collector (1st year production), or player alike
Includes the Original Yamaha Hard Case
ITEM CONDITION
All machinery, electrical, and pickups are without issue. Some light surface marks and scuffing, some small impressions/dings/dimples/dents/nicks, light aging and tarnish to machinery, the hard case has some sticker on sides with some silver aluminium tape around edges (most likely placed to keep vinyl peeling) - as pictured.
