    That's the one Stan. They are fetching anywhere from around AUD $1k and upwards.

    Spotted this unusual blue one on eBay for USD $850 out of Japan

    I can't say that I'm particularly keen on them myself. They made a lot of fuss about 'motorcycle heritage' when they first came out, which was just marketing BS. They just seem like a poor man's (Yamaha) SG to me, though some of them are quite expensive. I did have an SG3000 back in the '80s, which got stolen from my car, so maybe that's spoiled me with regards to the looks of these .

    Being Yamaha, they will be made very well and play well, and they do look nicer in the flesh than in photos, but I do wish Yamaha would bring out a decent but cheap version of their SG. The current SG-based models are hard to find and very expensive, but I'm sure they could do a Chinese/Korean/Indonesian version that would be great and wouldn't break the bank.
