SOLD - Yamaha SA2200 Japan - 2014

Here is a Yamaha SA2200 in excellent original condition, a highly regarded semi-hollow model that combines classic tonal character with Yamaha’s reputation for precision build quality and consistency. Designed to capture the warmth and depth of traditional semi-hollow guitars while maintaining modern stability and playability, the SA2200 has become a respected choice for professional and session players.

This example features a beautifully finished laminated maple body with subtle figuring, clean binding work, and a gloss finish that highlights the instrument’s elegant contours. It feels solid yet responsive, with a lively acoustic resonance that translates naturally into an amplified setting. The neck has an immediate, approachable feel that makes it easy to settle into across different playing styles.

The dual humbuckers deliver a clear, balanced voice with articulate highs, smooth midrange presence, and a focused low end. Chords sound full and defined, while single-note lines carry a fluid, melodic quality that suits jazz, fusion, and modern studio work. The semi-hollow construction adds natural warmth and bloom without sacrificing control, allowing for dynamic response even at higher volumes.

Playability is smooth and consistent thanks to precise fretwork and a well-judged setup, making it comfortable across the entire fingerboard. It comes complete with its original Yamaha hard case and stands as a strong example of one of Yamaha’s most accomplished semi-hollow designs.
