One guitar Joe loves the sound and feel of and these guitars are always consistent in feel tone and vibe is the Yamaha SBG series...they are awesome guitars that are well built sound excellent and are getting harder to come by..this model was designed in the 1970's by Yamaha but really took off in the early 1980's its a great guitar...........Texas Joe's particular model Yamaha SBG 500 sad to say is no longer in his possesion due to costs and bills last year 2010 during the building of our new studio somethings had to be sold and regretably this guitar was one that is now sadly missed....Texas Joe found it in a pawnshop in Harlingen, Texas in 2009 and purchased it for less than 200 dollars ! it was all grimy and dirty but was broughtback to life..and was used alot during 2009 and 2010...here are some pix of Texas Joe proudly holding an amazing Yamaha SBG 500 . hope to get another one sooner or later........note the really nice looking top..onthis particular model. enjoy !
hope to find another one of these babies again soon ! Yamaha SBG 500 from early to mid 1980's
Several of my biggest guitar heros have used The Yamaha SBG series guitars...Bill Nelson of Be Bop Deluxe,Brian Robertson of Thin Lizzy & of course Carlos Santana ...note the beautiful Violin Sunburst finish,,,ahh ,...I hope I find another one just like this ! great sound ,great looks,great tones,great feel....and very solid build these guitars rule !
ok have a nice day
