Your fullest sound yet
Thanks to a specially designed body, you can be certain the sound you get out of the Yamaha SG1802 is as full as it can possibly be. Its contours are deeper than that of previous models. This has been done to intricately tailor the body’s mass so that it’s optimised for the transfer of string vibrations. But what does this mean? Well, as soon as you plug in and play, you’ll hear. Maximum string vibrations mean maximum sound – your audience will never miss a note.
A rich tonal palette
Only the best materials have been used to craft the SG1802. A trio of premium tonewoods brings a distinctive sound that’ll give your playing an extra hit of quality. The maple and mahogany body blends the bright, sharp tone of the former with the deep, thick sound of the latter. And the top-class rosewood fingerboard brings an extra bit of warmth to every note and chord you play. This is optimally engineered sound.
Excellent playability
Playing experience is vital in a guitar. Because exquisite sound means nothing if you haven’t got exquisite playability to match. And in every way, the Yamaha SG1802 has been designed to give you a stunning playing experience that’ll leave you never wanting to put it down. First of all, the double cutaway body gives you unencumbered access to the very top of the fretboard – reaching those high notes will never be a problem.
Medium jumbo frets provide an increased playing area, making string bends and soloing seem easy. And your hand will be able to effortlessly glide from note to note – even at rapid speed. The mahogany neck’s gloss polyurethane finish reduces friction, meaning it’s easier to move quickly up and down the guitar’s scale.
All the finishing touches
Yamaha have really gone to town ensuring that the SG1802 provides the best performance possible. And it really shows. Even down to the littlest details, effort has gone into every element of this instrument. It features a GraphTech TUSQ nut for optimal string stability and intonation. Grover locking tuners ensure your tuning is always pitch perfect. And then there’s the incredible aesthetic – the stunning gold top finish will look sensational beneath stage lights. There’s brilliance in every department with this guitar.
