NWHD ( new wiring headache day )

Post by StrummersOfThunder »

New guitar day really
1973 yamaha sg80t

Issues:
1. some twerp has fiddled with all the wiring and changed things around dramatically.
Consequently the pickups are net functioning properly.

2. The wiring looks like something from The centre console from the starrship enterprise.

3. She needs a re fret

Spent yesterday with jvpp who kindly helped with wiring beginning the refret process.

Thankfully also had the original manual with the wiring schematic.

Guitar is otherwise in very good shape, weighs about a metric tonne and looks like an LP that's been hit up side the head.

Next mission is to find some fret wire with a 0.42 mm tang width.

Hi ,I have a 72 yamaha SG80 T as well . Would it be possible to get the manual with the wiring diagram from you by email. I've had this guitar for about 20 years but only recently got it working well enough to realize how sweet it is. Colin at dysdads@yahoo.com
