Comments:
The Yamaha SG-800 was part of the highly respected SG series, which gained legendary status for its quality Japanese craftsmanship, often compared favorably to Gibsons of the era. It was introduced in December 1979 as a follow-up to the SG-700 and was produced until 1981 when it was replaced by the SG-800S model. The SG-800 was positioned as a working musician's guitar, similar in construction to the much pricier SG-1000 and SG-2000 models but with slightly different appointments, such as a rosewood (rather than ebony) fingerboard and chrome hardware instead of gold, distinctive split pearl triangle inlays and a cream pickguard, differentiating it from the later "dot inlay" SG-800S. It features a set neck construction which enhances sustain and is a hallmark of quality instruments. A significant feature is the "Bi-Sound" system, or coil-tapping, achieved via push/push switches on the tone pots, offering versatile tonal options from humbucker power to single-coil brightness. The guitar is celebrated for its excellent playability, low action, and solid, resonant tone. The "OS" in the model name stands for Oil Stain, a transparent finish that highlights the wood grain.
