The Story

1968 SG-2C Flying Banana

This is a fun one that had all of the Zoo Staff taking a peek and giving their design critiques: a vintage Yamaha SG-2C 'Flying Banana' from 1968. Considering its age, the guitar is still really quite clean and still has the Yamaha logo sticker on the pickguard. There's some lacquer wear around the body with small dings and checks. The neck is shimmed and the frets are 'fretless wonder' low - but it still plays nicely and is such a unique look. If you want to stand out on stage, this is the Yamaha for you.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
