Sure do and i do like your sense of humour too. :D
May ask the forum leaders to change to something more simple once i have thought of something more simple...

N stands for narrow neck as this model has 41mm nut and slightly different neck shape.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Nice one. I wonder how similar it is to an LP with the set mahogany neck.

I managed to dig up a cached link of an old site I used to peruse for the Yamaha hotness.

I’ve still got the rather battered black SG2000 I bought from wolfhook, sadly not seeing much love these days... I finally got it out to restring last week and the brass nut had turned green!

It is more like a les paul than a gibson sg. Ed should be able to tell as i believe he has owned both/played in the past.

Nut width on this measures 43mm - and certainly doesn't feel narrow. But the neck profile is indeed slim - feels like a Gibson SG. I'd prefer it to be chunkier, but it feels pretty good. 13" inch radius is awesome .

And yeah, definitely more LP than SG. It is pretty hefty. 4.3kg. Maple top, mahogany body.

I'm pretty keen to add an SG2000. Just saying... :wink:
