Don't know what it is but I love the look of these.
Simple , classic, a bit edgy and retro cool
They also look like something that would make a reasonably straight forward scratch build

heavy double cut LP Junior influence, but that's a good thing. I've seen one of the guys on the Andertons Youtube play one sounded good.
yeah, that yellow one screams LPJ, I like the red one
My wife had to drag me away from a music store that had a bunch of these on display, I think they look great.
Drool :p awesome green.

These are neat Stan. I especially like the racing stripe one. Kind of a cross between an LPJnr and from memory their version of the SG

order a double cutaway LP Jnr with binding and 2 pickup routes, LP switch cavity but no holes drilled...great starting point.
Dam nearly talked myself into it LOL. My Jnr is my fav kit build to play.
On the money Ponch as they do look very Yammy SG Retro.
Those old ones are going for plenty of coin these days as anyone who can remember them knows how good they were. Just gotta listen to some 70's Santana to remind yourself what they sounded like.
I'm thinking of getting a LP-1M and doing it in the style of these with a solid top colour. Though if it turned up with a really nice flame/tiger stripe I'd revert to my plan of a lemon top Peter Green replica :)
yeah Yamaha SG2000, Carlos had one of thoseQuote:

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

That's a very nice Blue! Reminds me of my motorbike.

Nice tourer Zandit. I had a ZX-7R for years....not the most comfortable riding position over long distance.
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.
