Manufacturer's description
The SA2200 has always been the pinnacle of perfection in Yamaha semi-hollow archtops. With its 24" scale and the Alnico V humbuckers, the SA2200 is ideally suited for rock and blues, while the thinline semi-hollowbody design makes it just as well suited for pop and jazz. The SA2200 features a highly figured maple top and a mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard. The push-push tone pots switch the pickups from humbucking to single-coil. The gold hardware sets off the beautiful Violin Sunburst finish of this versatile guitar.
The SA500 maintains the tradition of the SA2200 while adding its own unique spin with Yamaha's signature tailpieces and original "F" hole design. Black and Brown Sunburst finishes complete the look.
