This is not a guitar - it is a fairy tale and a fantasy, just like music! I have been a fan of Yamaha guitars since I was young. Once, in my youth I played Yamaha, I don’t remember the model, it was semi-acoustic. It was a flight of soul! I wish you all good and happiness! 👏👏👏👍🙏👋
I watch tons of guitar RUclips videos by many people and channels, and compare how the content is delivered. I really like your videos. You cover everything; specs, demo and opinion, without getting side tracked or dragging out. And you have a good personality. 👍
Your playing is so beautiful. Your really get a feel for the tone on each guitar you play. This Yamaha is sensational in every aspect, a dream guitar for many players!
You do know how to make this SG sound wonderfully! Your music and playing excellent as always. Great review, covering so many aspects. Sadly the SG is rarely available in Australia.
Jonathan...you the man....love your playing and love your channel....nothing better than one of your videos in my fav chair with a glass of burbon and coke whilst I chill and just listen....thank you 😁👍
Jon you are a great player. You always make any guitar sound awesome. I have yet to see one of your videos where you did not make the guitar sound awesome. A reminder that most of the time a great player can make pretty much any guitar sound good. These Yamahas are really nice guitars and your playing gives them a chance to shine.
Got to adore all this underrated vintage japanese SG style of Guitars they are the absolute best old Yamaha, old Ibanez =🖤 this model is perfect, i think i liked even better than the SG1000 And even if i would prefer it on BLACK version i still love this Sunburst color so classy well it resembles my Black Double cut Les paul made by Gibson
Happy New Year, Sir. That Yamaha came through with a nice warm, clean tone in the video. That's the kind of sound I'm looking for in my gear. I'll get there...
This guitar brought out your soul big time, so moving. I love SG’s, I assume I can’t get this left handed? I’ll check anyway. The sound alone is so wonderful, and from what you are saying it plays like butter. I don’t mind the weight, it’s more stable in your hands. Keep up the great demos of these great guitars, bless you.
Happy New Year, Jonathan!!! 🎉🎊🍻 Love Yamaha guitars. I know you could play a rock and make it sound musical, so no surprise that this sounded great! 🐰👍🏼❤️🎸
Hallo nochmal, sweet sounds on a great looking guitar - i love sunburst finished. And i think the Humbucker sounds better than the PUs in the Goldtop, warm but clear. Have happy New Year - i'm waiting for the next video 🖖
I HOPE you get the understanding of how much you HELP your viewers ..... And how much we appreciate your channel. Best of the new year to you and your.....P.S. Give Dax a ear Scarcth'in for me.
Funny story: 'brown sunburst' aka tobacco sunburst came about when after many years the stain and lacquer on the original 60's red and yellow sunburst faded and discolored, maybe even some nicotine stains worn in so that it became a brownish sunburst look. Relic guitars started happening with folk wanting a new guitar but with an old look, hence new brown sunbursts came out. By the 80's the colour had a market of it's own, standing up now as a legitimate choice of it's own. Which it is now, but it's funny that it came to be by the faded, discolouration of an original sunburst.
Hi Jonathan. Thanks for the videos. Your music has been a blessing to me. I'm curious about which guitar picks you use and if you use different picks at times. God bless.
I would like to hear you playing the same melodic lick on the gold top guitar with P90. It's hard to find someone playing a P90 guitar in a melodic lick.
You should check out the harley benton st 70 black paisely. I absolutely fucking love mine and I think you'd be fond of it too since you liked the te 70 black paisely
I tried SG1820 this mth at yamaha store. I enjoyed myself and felt my skill is another level on this guitar. :p I read SA 2200 and know it is good guitar too. If to buy only one guitar, would you get SG1820 or SA 2200 for leisure hobby?
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thanks for your prompt reply which solved my trouble in a split second(been researched for hours). I know you from 解脱 this song and I still listen sometimes ^^❤️
Yo Jon ...I really like listening to you play.. and I have plenty of guitars ..so I check out your videos to hear you play ..but then I start saying ..wow that’s a really sweet guitar Jon is playing..then my wife arrives on the scene and says ...” Err dear do you want to see me go to jail for beating you up ? ...Just what is a guy supposed to do ?! 😎🎸
Hi, i will order a Harley Benton one of seven but all out then i will buy the St-20HSS in Black and it is out too now i order the St-20 in Red it comes tomorow i hope it is so good as the black. LG Detlev
Hey Jon; I think this guitar you reviewed is an SG1820. The only 1802 of the SG line is the one with the P90's. Remains the SG1820A to review, with EMG pickups. If you could lay your hands on one, it would be fantastic. As I said in my previous post, SG's are only available on request in my city. You can't try one. So your reviews come quite handy. Nice playing. I love the mellow ballads! sg.yamaha.com/en/products/musical_instruments/guitars_basses/el_guitars/sg/index.html
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I know it is a trick question Jon, but I have to ask, because you are the only person I know who played Yamaha SG's. If you had to get one of the two, between the SG1802 and the SG1820; which one would you favor, and why? I am a exclusive Blues player. That is all I do. So I am naturally inclined towards the SG1802 because of the P90. However, the 1820 seems to have a larger palette of tones. RUclips does not really give it all. What do YOU think?
Pisk Six the SG 1820 for me. I like the sound of the guitar period. And if you were to change pups later, you can change to coil splittable humbuckers thus giving you more options
@@JonIsJustTooLoud if you look for a good guitar its just a normal guitar but if you keep on looking you well fine that special one that stand out from all the rest the one you been really looking for you well know this is the best guitar of all the guitars that you have played keep looking God Bless
Blackbear Bear no that’s not what you said.. you said the guitar is not good. In case you are wondering, this is not the best I’ve played, but it’s about there. The thing Is I just wanted to know why you think the guitar is not good... that’s all ✌️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud that guitar is not as good as you find your match the one that well make you one with you and the one you were playing isn't it good luck looking for the one

In grops "kino" "кино" "cinema" guitar was yamaha sg 200. But how you play it amazing.

A whole lot of difference in terms of workmanship and playability.. but then again the revstars are very different guitars compared to this ✌️❤️
