The instrument features factory-original humbuckers delivering authentic vintage tonality, complemented by a meticulously bound rosewood fretboard adorned with elegant split abalone parallelogram inlays. Its innovative F-hole baffles effectively suppress the feedback issues typically associated with hollow-body instruments, providing exceptional performance stability while maintaining tonal richness.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar is suprisingly lightweight at just 7.3 lbs, and very easy to play - the neck is super comfortable.  The techs in our shop have set it up to play perfectly.  This SA-50 is in great shape, especially considering its age - there wear and marks on the body, as to be expected, but overall, it's really clean.  The original hardshell case is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is definitely a rare find in Pearl Sunflower, and we have a feeling that it will go quickly!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody: Maple \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeck: Mahogany; C profile\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFretboard: Rosewood, bound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e22 Frets \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScale Length of 630mm (24.8 inches)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNut Width: 42mm (1.65 inches)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e13.75\" radius\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAluminium Truss Rod cover with Tuning Fork logo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTuners: Yamaha Closed High Ratio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePickups: 2 Hum Free Yamaha Anisotrophic Ferrite with fully adjustable pole pieces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eControls: 1 Volume 1 Tone 1 Blender and a 3 way switch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardware Chrome\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePickguard Small black 5 ply\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial # 20794\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47047934804211,"sku":"50YAM005","price":1799.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img24324.jpg?v=1749066006","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/used-vintage-1974-yamaha-sa-50-pearl-sunflower-electric-guitar-with-ohsc","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
