Yamaha SG-2000
Yamaha SG2000 Santana
At the time Santana was playing the previously mention Gibson L6-S (circa 1975), Yamaha approached him with their new SG-175 model for a possible endorsement deal. Santana agreed to try out the guitar, and he ended up making a list of the things he didn’t like on it. He complained that the weight was too light and the guitar needed to be heavier in order to get enough sustain, and it needed a two-octave 24 fret neck.
After the first prototype was made with the intention of addressing those issues, Santana still didn’t fully liked it. Yamaha went back to the board, and with the Carlos’ help decided on a few more changes. They went for neck-through-body design, meaning that the neck and the body are now actually glued together. They used what is now known as the T-Cross construction, where there are two pieces of mahogany surrounding the center maple part going thought the whole width of the guitar, with a piece of teak wood (maple was used on mass-produced model) on the top of the body. All the hardware was replaced with brass, and a sustain plate was installed to sit underneath the bridge. As for the electronics, two OPG-1 Alnico V pickups were used.
Santana used this guitar from around the time it was finished in early 1976, to around 1982 when he switched to PRS. His main guitar was the actual prototype which at the time it was made still didn’t have an official name – only in July 1976 Yamaha officially released the guitar as the SG2000. It featured dark natural finish, and custom Buddha headstock inlays, as well as body decals. His second most widely SG2000 was a black model featuring somewhat similar decals.
