t0aj15 Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 This topic with the references to Epliphone got me thinking about "lawsuit" guitars , did a few searches,some interesting stuff out there. Evidently there where some really good copies of Gibson and Fender made in Japan in the late 70's and 80's. Found this Yamaha on e bay, looks like the 170. Actually the Yamaha SBG guitars (pictured) have been around for more then 40 years and IIRC are still made today. Santana & several other famous players have used these high priced handmade guitars. It wouldn't be fair to compare these to a G brand guitar because they are SOOOO much better
NoNameBand Posted September 16, 2010 Posted September 16, 2010 they were, now they are gone, replaced with BG pups vintage 60's single coils. What (or who) are BG pickups? Great guitar. I remember hearing it at PSPIII. Great guitar, looks and sounds great.
