I have a triple pickup, solid body guitar made by nippon gakki early seventies. Have seen it once in a guitar book, but never seen one ‘in the flesh’. I think the model is an SG5A, because it looks very similar to one shown on a ‘Hard Rock Cafe’ pin badge used by Bon Jovi. Anyone able to give me any more details? p.s: havre already tried yamaha’s serial number wizard – no joy with ser. No. 7305.

Hey Phil, The Yamaha SG5A was first produced in the 1960’s and from your serial number I would say yours is a 60’s model. They are known as the "Flying Samuri" because of the exaggerated lower horn. Check out my website VintAxe.com for leads on more information. SB
