| 1980 Yamaha SL550S Studio Lord 1960s Les Paul Replica Sorry, this guitar is now SOLD |
The Lord of the Studio! It surely is - and this one is one of the very first... you can tell by
looking at the headstock. The really early ones had the open-book Gibson-style headstock
while most later versions had the unique Yamaha headstock design that adorns SA and SG
models as well as the SL line. This guitar is in great condition, and also has the coil-tapping
option that I like to look for. It's a great feature to get single-coil and humbucking tone and
there are so many ways to blend them. Lots of great tone. There are a handful of dings I
show clearly below - all cosmetic wear you'd expect from a guitar of this age. Otherwise, no
issues. Great fast neck. Great frets - all you'd want and more from a good vintage Paul.
