The Story

1960s SG-2 Coral Red

Best known as Link Wray's "Screaming Red" model, this is a 1960s Yamaha SG-2 in Coral Red, complete with the two single coil pickups, tremolo bridge and the roller volume and tone controls just like you'd find on an American equivalent such as the Fender Jazzmaster. The guitar has its share of playwear and dings around the body, and fretwear up to the 7th fret, but nothing to affect the sound or present dead notes. It includes a gigbag and tremolo arm.

Includes: Gigbag
