We love the Studio Lord series around here, they're fantastic guitars. They were made from 1976-81 and came in a few different models. This example references the classic LP Custom, so it gets some snazzy specs: gold hardware, block inlays, ebony fretboard, witches hat knobs, seven-ply double binding... all the good stuff. The cherry finish looks beautiful paired with the extra binding and bling, and it's actually ridiculous how clean and tidy this one is for a forty seven year old guitar. The neck is slim and comfy, and at 4.7kg it's a little hefty, but could be a lot worse. The sound: oh boy, yes please. It's bright and airy for an LP, with a sweet chirpy top end complementing a wide and complex midrange and a piano-like bass. The pickups split via push\/push tone controls, which is a cool bonus. This is an excellent guitar, it really punches well above it's weight in my books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yamaha Studio Lord SL700C \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Japan, 1978-9, Nippon Gakki factory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 001363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Red Sunburst, gloss poly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e: mahogany three piece, maple carved top\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e: mahogany, ebony fretboard, 24.75\" scale, 12\" radius, 42mm nut, slim C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.720kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMods\u003c\/strong\u003e: none\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickups\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yamaha L-III humbucker x2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories\u003c\/strong\u003e: basic gig bag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCosmetic condition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: minor finish wear.
