With the Yamaha SG1820A, seen here with a sleek Black finish, you get a premium-grade electric guitar, inspired by an iconic Yamaha design.
To satisfy the demands of modern players, and make today’s SG as iconic and relevant as the original 1974 models, the SG1820 series was developed. Using direct feedback from Yamaha’s London, LA and Tokyo Artist Relations offices, these guitars are specced with the custom-shop parts that artists want and need and are finished with the new simpler cosmetics that players have been asking for.
Yamaha SG1820A Electric Guitar, Black Key Features
Premium-Grade Construction - While preserving the basic structure of Maple Top/Mahogany Back and SG’s iconic double cutaway design, the body of SG1820 was redesigned to capture the sound and look which today’s guitarists want. The contoured body top curves more deeply than previous models - the top arc of the curve, the center part of the body, has optimized wood-mass to maximise string-body vibration from the from the bridge and tailpiece.
Superior Playing Feel - With countless custom-shop artist-specced SGs being produced with Rosewood fingerboards instead of the traditional SG’s ebony board, we selected premium rosewood for the fingerboard on the new SGs. A warm, well-balanced tone and great feel match modern tones and playing styles perfectly.
Custom Pickups - A classic, warm humbucker with smooth midrange and rich high-end. Works perfectly with SG1820 to give a hot-vintage tone with plenty of presence and depth. Close-aperture coils and balanced magnets (ceramic in the 81, alnico in the 85) give a rich, varied tonal palette with immense detail, clarity and ability to cut through the mix. In addition to this Super-premium electronic parts are selected for the new SG guitars only after meeting Yamaha’s exhaustive testing criteria. Their choice of the finest switches and pots, the same as those chosen by pro guitar techs on stages all over the world, means that you can step on stage night after night confident that all of the little details are taken care of.
IRA (Initial Response Acceleration)- Using IRA technology, stresses like those between the finish and wood are release by applying specific vibrations to the completed guitars. Once this treatment is complete, the guitar responds accurately to the guitarist's performance, and produces sound more easily. It also shortens the time needed for the guitar to adapt to your playing style. Not only that, it delivers excellent sustain.
Ultra-Reliable Hardware - The SG’s strings are locked in place at the post to ensure zero slippage and complete tuning stability along with quick, efficient string changes. TonePros' lighter bridge and tailpiece design enhances the vibration of the guitar’s body by reducing the mass of the metal parts. The locking design ensures the bridge and tailpiece are tightly anchored on their mounting studs for ultra-efficient vibration transfer, maximizing sustain and improving clarity.
Hardshell Case Included - To keep the guitar safe as you travel to and from your performances, Yamaha have included a deluxe hardshell case. This case is designed to shield the SG1820A from even the harshest of knocks, scratches, and liquid spills, giving you peace of mind during its transportation.
