Why we love it
Archtop guitars are boundless in time and tradition. Yamaha crafts some of the finest archtops in the world our artists have known this secret for years.The SA2200 represent traditional Yamaha craftsmanship at its finest, pushing the semi-hollow body guitar concept to the peak of refinement.
The SA2200, is a thinline semi-acoustic perfection.
A solid block of wood runs through the otherwise hollow body for enhanced sustain and feedback resistance, giving the instrument a remarkable ability to reproduce everything from mellow jazz tones to the aggressive snap and growl of a solidbody.
Performance muscle comes from two powerful Alnico V humbuckers, whose coils can be split via the tone knobs to provide additional, single coil-like sounds and combined permutations via the three-way pickup selector. Add in beautiful cosmetics like the figured maple body veneers and split-block inlaid ebony fingerboard, and this is an instrument youll find hard to resist.
Custom Pickups
Custom wound Alnico V pickups are mated to dual push/push coil taps for ultra-fast switching between single coil and humbucker operation and massive tonal variation
Bridge
The SA2200 is fitted with a stop tailpiece bridge for increased sustain, enhanced tuning stability and easy adjustment.
