Yamaha SR-400 Stratocaster model

This is good condition natural finished SR-400.
Outlook is good as 30 years old guitar.

The production year is around 1975-76 from its serial number.
The SR-400 is a bit different from 500. SR-400 is 2 PLY wood body.

The neck is fine. Frets are proper condition. This neck serial is 0023xx. It should be early time production.
The body weight is approx. 3.7Kg. This body is serial 0067xx.
I rebuilt 2 guitars into 1 guitar. The reason, the body of 0023xx was extended body cavity.
So, the neck holes are re-drilled (old holes were filled by wooden bar).
The body condition is pretty good. On the back, there is small scrathes.

Yamaha is one of good buying JV guitar. Because, Japanese collectors are not paying attention so much.
The price is still reasonable as vintage (used) guitar. These Yamaha was made by Kasuga in 70's.
Well, the PU cavity is different from original Fender, but the tone is pretty good.

The sound is pretty good. Many my friends and clients use Yamaha SR for main guitar instead of vintage Fender.
It is pretty interesting.

How the people evaluate the value of guitar. I think mostly just brand name.
