Yamaha SG3000, SG2000, SG1000, RGXA2, RGX220DZ Brochure

The great contributions that the electric guitar and electric bass have made to the development of Rock music are common knowl­edge. Each has been a powerful infl uence their evolution and development.
The arrival of Yamaha’s SG guitars and BB basses in the late 70’s was a turning point in Rock history. Our guitar designers at the
time completely rethought the functions and design of the guitar, taking an entirely different approach to the construction of the
SG2000. Their efforts were greeted with high acclaim from guitarists all over the world. The BB1200 with its laminated neck also
received high acclaim from professional bassists all over the world, gaining a wide following of regular players. Its fresh design
and tight, heavy tone gave bassists greater presence in the band, and its sound played an important role in the development and
spread of trends such as beat heavy disco and slap style playing.
Fast-forward to 2010, and our latest SG and BB designs focus on Rock. This is a music that is in constant change. With all of its
variants, it is nearly impossible to categorize into a single genre anymore. In these new SG guitars and BB basses we have har­nessed Rock’s energy, giving it form in the shape of their design. That energy is released at the pluck of a string and transformed,
without loss, into musical expression. This is the reason we focus so much on the instrument’s sound. Greater performance capa­bilities deliver greater expressive power, the new SG and BB deliver a new means of expression.

Reviving Roc k: Making a Bold Statement
Yamaha’s Ev olution

IRA (Initial Response Acceleration)

If you’ve ever played another guitarist’s instrument and not been able to get the same
sound, it’s probably because you are playing a different style than what the guitar is
used to. Af ter playing the same guitar for years, the guitar adapts to the guitarist’s
playing style. It takes time for a new guitar to adapt to your own way of playing. Stress
found bet ween parts like fi nish, woods, body, neck, fi ngerboard, nut, bridge, etc., must
be released before all of the par ts can resonate together as an instrument. It takes time
and a lot of playing for this to happen.
Using IR A technology, stresses like those between the fi nish and wood are release by
applying specifi c vibrations to the completed guitars. Once this treatment is complete,
the guitar responds accurately to the guitarist’s performance, and produces sound
more easily. It also shortens the time needed for the guitar to adapt to your playing
style. And it delivers excellent sustain.

Since its spectacular debut, Yamaha SG series guitars have accompa­nied many a musician on their road to success. From its rich tone and
long sustain to its superior performance and refi ned design, all of its
signature characteristics have stood the test of time, remaining relevant
to this day. Trends and special requests by musicians over the last
30+ years have resulted in numerous spec changes and the release of
special models. And while the latest SG3000/2000/1000 guitars look
the same as the original, there are many refi nements that improve upon
their perfection.

Ove r t he cour s e of the SG’s histor y, t hese th r ee new SG s, the
SG1820/1820A/1802, represent the most dynamic approach yet. Look­ing at current trends in music and the sound requirements of today’s
guitarists, we have taken three approaches to sound

SG1820: Modern rock sound. All-around instrument delivers a clear, rich
low-end tone capable of everything from clean cutting tone to distortion.
SG1820A: Designed for the next-generation guitarist. Delivers a beautiful
hard distortion and releases an intense sound from its sharp styling.
SG1802: Sound, looks, classic styling, its all there in this model. The
combination of wide single coil pickups and SG body deliver a warm,
clear tone.

The new SG also features a wide variety of refi nements including hard-
ware modifi cations. A new page in Yamaha’s SG history starts here.

A. I. R. (Alternative Internal Resonance) Design

Using Yamaha’s original Alternative Internal Resonance technology the RGXA2 and RBX4A2 offer players
excellent lightweight characteristics without sacrifi cing sound quality.



The body consists of a lightweight core sandwiched between hard woods on top and back. (1)



Three metal tubes (sound tubes) installed under the bridge plate transmit string vibration to the
body, and return body vibration to the bridge. (2)

(The story behind the development of the RGXA2 and RBX4A2)

Design of the RGXA2 centered on developing a lightweight instrument that would bring the guitar
and player closer together. The focus was on providing the player with greater freedom, much like
an air guitar, breaking down the boundaries between what is in the player’s head and what comes
out of the amp.

In creating a lighter guitar, one absolute condition set down was that sound quality could not
be sacrifi ced. For this reason, a great deal of time and effort went into the creation of numerous
prototypes. The A2 project had to combine three crucial factors—great sound, light weight, and
suffi cient strength to withstand the huge forces generated by strings under tension. Intensive
research and development led to the creation of A.I.R. (Alternative
Internal Resonance) technology. Although it uses a solid body de­sign, the incredible resonance created by the unique construction
method produces a big, open sound that resonates throughout
the guitar’s entire body. To match and compliment this instru­ment’s unique characteristics, original bridge and pickup systems
were developed—the resulting tone and response shattering the
widely accepted concept that “lightweight means light sound”.
The RGXA2 brings a revolutionary approach to guitar design.

The quest for the perfect design naturally took the route of trying to build the lightest possible
guitar, but early prototypes, while incredibly light, didn’t deliver the sound or playing experience
that was essential. The fi nal weight for the RGXA2 was set at around 2.5kg, a perfect balance—
around 30% lighter than a regular solid body guitar but with all the feel and sound that players
were looking for. This is lightweight design taken to the extreme.

The Guitar and the Player... Becoming One

Original Pickups

Developed with the custom shop at
Yamaha Artist Services, Hollywood, the
A2 pick ups p er fec tly c omp lim ent the
tonal characteristics of the A.I.R. body.
Designed with the input of some of the
world’s greatest guitar players, the A2’s
power ful tone belies its light wei ght.

Original Bridge

In rethinking bridge design, Yamaha
has succeeded at creating a c ompac t,
lightweight bridge that delivers
outstanding function. Removing
protrud ing screw s leaves a simple design
that delivers extended performance
when pl aying close to the bridge. Spe cial
sound tubes i nstalled un der the bridge
pa s s th r ou g h th e b ody t ran s mi t ti n g
string v ibration directly to the bod y.

Design of the RGXA2 focused on creating a lightweight
instrument that would bring the guitar and player closer to­gether. The response we received from its release was great.
The resulting sound shattered the widely accepted concept
that “light guitars only produce light sound”, and brought new
users to the instrument thanks to its light weight. Moreover, it
received great acclaim from discerning professional guitarists
and music dealers.
In addition to the great attention the RGXA2 received, re­quests increased daily for a bass version of this amazing
instrument. So we quickly set about developing a bass guitar
with an A.I.R structure, and produced three models; a regular
scale, medium scale, and 5-string.
The RBXA2 weighs about 20% less than its standard bass
counterpart. Matched with an original pickup system devel­oped in cooperation with Yamaha Artist Services Hollywood,
it delivers a heavy sound that is both clear and powerful.

A.I.R. (Alternative Internal Resonance)

Our A.I.R. d evelopment team took the design used on the RGXA2 and adapted
it for use w ith a bass g uitar. The instrument’s structu re consists of light weight
core mate rial sandwiched in between soli d materia ls. Strin gs passing through
the backside of the body transmit ene rgy throu ghout the entire bo dy delivering
outsta nding resonanc e and excellent response.

Original Pickups

An original pickup was developed
to match the R BXA2’s bo dy de sig n.
It produces a well-shaped attack
and c lea r ton e with presence. Tonal
character is smooth from the low
ra n ge th ro u gh to t he h i gh, a nd it
delivers some truly great distor tion.

RBX4A2

This regular scale model weighs just 3.2 kg and offers superior balance in addition
to its ultra light weight. Fusing seamlessly with the player it offers unprecedented
playing comfort that stuns bassists who regularly play a standard bass. Light
weight, superior comfort, and easy playing action let you concentrate on your play­ing for extended periods of time. Physically it is light in weight, sonically it is anything
but. A.I.R. technology and newly developed pickups deliver a thick, robust tone that
is clear, powerful, and blends well with a wide range of musical styles.

Diagonal Body Thru Stringing
(BB 2000/1000/400 Series)

Together with the uniquely designed
sad dle, bod y thru stringing ef fi cientl y
transfers string vibration to the body. A
Yamaha original design used on all BB
series basses places strings at a 45º
an gle at th e sa ddle re du ci ng s tre ss ,
securing tension, and maximizing
vib rat ion t ran sfe r. The 45 º cut o n the
back end of the body makes stringing
easie r and give s the BB a unique look.

With bolt on necks and passive circuit designs Yamaha’s new BB2000 series basses, the
BB2024/2024X/2025/2025X, are the ultimate in Rock bass. Everything having to do with their design—from
the selection of neck and body materials, construction, and special treatments, to the through body stringing,
neck joint, pickups, bridge, nut, hardware, and I.R.A. treatment—is focused on making the body resonant.
Specially designed pickups are utilized to convert its high quality tone into a powerfully rich sound with excel­lent attack and sustain. The end result is a new BB bass that takes fi rm command of low-end duties with
immense volume and overwhelming presence, standing out in even the loudest of rock bands.
Two versions of the new BB are available. The BB2024/2025 with traditional BB looks, and the
BB2024X/2025X trimmed with pickguard, metal plate, and metal knobs. Both versions are available in 4- or
