Yamaha SGV - Made in taiwan - is that possible?

Postby Ready Freddie » Mon Mar 12, 2012 1:58 pm

Hello everyone!

need your advise on the following:

I've found this guitar in mint condition for sale for $600, but it's
announced as "made in taiwan", which sounds strange, taking in consideration the price, as I know MIJ SGV800s should cost about $900.
Does anybody know if they're really produced in Taiwan or it's some
kind of the clone? Thanks in advance

I thought all recent sgv's were made in Taiwan, my 800 was anyways. To be honest $600 sounds like a lot of money for an sgv, they normally go for around $400-500.

Thanks for response! I would appreciate it deeply if you could tell where I could find
SGV 800 for $400, old japanese models float around on Japanese market for around
$800-900, never have seen second hand new ones for sale...

They appear occasionally on ebay, and I sometimes see them for sale on surfguitar101.com.
