Considering a Yamaha SA 2200 need info

[73Fender]

Thinking of getting an SA 2200. Have read good things. Any info or comments welcome.

What's the neck carve like on these? Poly or nitro? Good used price for a pretty minty one?

One odd thing, the SN system is kind of weird, the year of manufacture is specified by a single letter, they only use 10 which repeat so for example an H can be a '61, '71,'81 etc.

Just read that they are poly.

Great guitars. I do recall not liking the feel of the neck on my SA-2200. It was too wide and shallow for my hands. The fret board radius was probably very large. Otherwise, it was really nice. I think it was a 2001 model.

I have owned almost every high end Yamaha SA guitar model they made I just sold a super rare SA2200 that was Pearl White Metallic...........only one ever made!.......... had a medium C shape profile neck. There is a very nice one on The Hamer Fan Club Forum for $1,300.00 looks to be in excellent shape The one with the big chunky neck profile is the SA1200S [SOLID SPRUCE TOP MODEL] there is one on Ebay at this moment for under $1,000.00.Any other questions regarding these guitars drop me a PM glad to help.
