Hi Y’all, my name is Jay, and I started this blog of my pile of odds and sods guitars, because I dig them….My guitar path started 45+ years ago with my first Japanese Pearl SG Copy followed by a Yamaha SG-500 guitar, when I was into prog rock, metal and rock and roll. Now there are a great many weird, odd and old Japanese, USA, UK guitars and some other weird stuff. Some notable guitars include a Yamaha SG-175, Gibson Mini Kessel proto and Peavey Prototype T-25. The guitars are maintained in-house in a workshop in a converted old barn…
My Pile of Guitars & Basses 
Hello.
I’ve just acquired a 1978 SG1500 Cherry, S.N. 001373.
Oh My Goodness!!
I don’t think I’ll be playing my Gold-Top or 335 for quite some time.
A question, if I may…
Is it possible to obtain a replacement (silver coloured) bridge?
The original is doing the usual Tune-O-Matic trick and starting to collapse.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Pete.
I own a Yamaha SG vintage guitar. I believe it was a 1983 model actually purchased in Tokyo, Japan. My mum got it for me when I was a wee little babe. I treasure it immensely and it has served me well and continues to be my main electric guitar. I will never ever part with it.
Some great guitars on display, Nice!
Hi I was told that you know a good bit about Japan guitar and I was wondering if you could help me I’d this Chambered les paul I belive it to be a National but the neck has a zero fret and it’s making me think that the neck isn’t original and the body is only single bound not double so if you could help me out that be great
Where are these sg guitars with the bird pearl inlay on the body – stunning

I am the owner of a brown sunburst SBG200 Yamaha – a beautiful guitar! I have searched and searched and cannot answer the following questions, and (considering your collection and the fact you own a SG200) I am hoping you can help – so far, even Yamaha themselves cannot answer the questions. 1) What year (or years) was the SBG200 marketed in the USA? 2) How many of them (approximately) were sold in the USA when they were being marketed? I’ve had this guitar 20 years and would love to find the answers; Thanks! – Don
Been smitten with SG’s since witnessing Stuart Adamson back in the day.
Fantastic collection and a joy to see that you are in my home town of Aberdeen, where I worshipped at the alter of Adamson.
Though no longer a resident, I remain forever a “restless native”…
Love those Yammies !!
Hey, can you tell me how to decode the SN on an SG-2000?
I just picked one up off of CL and would like to know the production date.
Send me the code, will tell you the date….
I absolutely love your SGs! I am an SG die hard. Currently trying to seek out an original 1961-63 Les Paul SG and something with a Maestro. The green one is so unusual I love that guitar!!
Hi Guys! I saw your collection in Guitar magazine. I was hoping you could tell me the brand of the metal, wall mount track hangers you have? Thanks in advance!
I have a YSG1 circa ’88 that I bought new while living in Japan. I had several guitars already and fell in love with the YSG1 because of the beautiful blue sunburst and gold hardware and amazing voice. I barely played this guitar. It is in almost pristine condition. No marks anywhere on her. The only thing that shows her age is the patina of the gold at the bridge. I wanted it for the blues phase I was going through at the time haha. She is immaculate. Soft case and original all around, even the strap which is quick release. Solid and heavy. I have been thinking about taking her to a guitar shop along with my other last remaining electric and trading them both in for something new. Trying to reduce the amount of stuff I have… go to just one instead of 2, plus I have 4 acoustics, a bass, violin, mandolin and a Cordoba mini (for travel).
Do you think I should trade her in on a new guitar ?
Day mate , love your Yammy’s, got one myself. An 82 dark green, well played and loved, don’t see to many of them , I’ll send a pic if you like
cheers Jed
