Whoa sweet SGV!!! Maybe the ultimate Surf guitar. I’ve never even seen one of the EGV’s, good find.
We can still be friends and you an unwilling spectator? Lol
That’s not the top of the priority list but I have a repeatedly stated aversion to white pick guards. I’m merely managing expectations. I’ll save you the drum of my wiring mod ideas until proof of concept.

Reminds me that the new tuning machines for one of my SBVs should get here tomorrow.
Agree. I just can’t see tort with that red. It’s gorgeous just the way ya mama intended.
I bought this on a flash sale a few years ago when they were all the rage! OK, so there may have been a few drinks earlier that evening!
@terb you’re never gonna guess what I just bought (again)
What color is this revstar?
“Hot Merlot”. Identical to the one I just sold ![]()
One of these days I will learn.
The cost was exactly what I sold the last one for so it’s a wash. Still funny.
Yeah I deserve this ![]()
You sure you don’t want the blue one ![]()
Nah I have had two of them and prefer the red.
(sadly not even joking
)
The green is cool too though.

My favorite for sure.

Yeah it’s a super good color.
Still the red is my fave. It’s a good red and the racing stripes look awesome when they are subtle:
OK, if Yamaha made a bass with that body shape and those racing stripes, I am definitely down for that.
Hmm I wonder if they have made a SG-shaped bass. I bet they did in the ‘70s.
Edit: yup, some of the SuperBasses.
