Here's mine. 1978 Yamaha SA2000. This guitar is bone stock except for an Seymour Duncan JB installed shortly after it was bought.
I'll put this guitar up against any 335. The level of construction in these guitars was special. All the binding, inlays, tuners are top quality. It even has the build sheet with all the signed off clearance adjustments and intonation from the factory.
It also SCREAMS. I can play anything on this guitar.

Yamaha. Especially Japan only Yamaha.Which I think were all mostly made by Matsumoko. Copyright rules in Japan are/were different and JPN gits are totally frkn awesome. (Like OrvillebyGibson, Fender JPN, ESP)
However. The Epis the Beatles played are not the modern, Gibson owned, Epis.
