Sealed Yamaha Chrome tuners instead of the plastic covered Kluson type. With a serial number of 5Y22019 which would indicate to me an earliest date of November 1986.

Was also an LP1000 custom produced in quite limited numbers, see later comments.Īccording to the Archives all production ceased in 1985, they do appear in the 1985 catalogue The timeline for these models is:ġ976 The first SL series of 9 models launched the 380, 430, 500, 550, 650, 700, 800,10 1979 Further 6 SL Models added the 400s, 500s, 600s, 700s, 700c, 800s 1980 Original 9 models discontinued 1982 Old models all discontinued and replaced by 2 new models the 450s and 550s 1984 All SLs discontinued and replaced by the 5 LP Models the 400, 500, 600, 800 custom and 1000 at sometime there We have along with some information from owners. I am indebted to him for some great informationĪs with many things Yamaha the truth is often different to the catalogues and archives but they are the best source I have had a lot of information from a SL LP collector called Dan. Some obviously made their way to the west including an SL400s which I own. Therefore they only appear in the Japanese catalogues and not any of theĮnglish language ones. They were made solely for the Japanese domestic marketĪnd Yamaha themselves did not export any of them. Information on these guitars is not easy to find.
