Yamaha SC700 Super Combinator Black 1979

Yamaha SC700 Super Combinator, black, made in Japan 1979. First up, let's address the elephant in the room: 'Combinator' is not a word. It probably sounded really clever in a Japanese boardroom in the late 70s, but hey, it officially scores some 'WTF' points. Second: holy heck, this is an exceptionally cool guitar. The base palette is Strat flavoured, but the blade style singles have a fair bit more grunt than a regular vintage single coil. Add a hefty hardtail, string-through bridge into the mix, and you've got a very assured, bright and thick take on the Strat tone. Now, those three switches you see are each three way: on, off, on at 180 phase reversed. That allows for a whole stack of different... contortions? combinations? combinatortions. My current fav is neck and bridge in phase, middle out of phase... it's a glorious grindy, punchy full fatness with just a little extra pluck and chirp; it's the tone I never knew I needed. It's one of several awesome tones this absolute gem-in-the-rough is capable of; you'll have so much fun. The neck is a great piece of maple and rosewood too; it's very similar in profile to a '62 style Strat and feels super friendly. It's no secret we're basically a vintage Yamaha exclusive dealer these days, but hey, when the gear is this good, who's complaining? Or is that combinplainorting? Certainly not I.
