The Yamaha SG-300 like this Burgundy Red was introduced in 1982 to succeed the Yamaha SG-500 and Yamaha SG-600 that were issued in 1976-1981 as a more budget addition to the initial Yamaha SG line up. The SG-300 came in either burgundy red or black. It is a light-weight guitar and combined with its simple but effective design makes it a superb instrument and easy to play. The power comes from 2 high output double open hum-buckers possibly Ceramic. Hardware is chrome with an engraved tailpiece and simple tune-o-matic bridge and diecast tuners. The SG-300 appears to be quite uncommon and was not issued in Japan.
