The Yamaha SA500 in Tobacco Sunburst is a semi-hollow electric guitar inspired by classic ES-335-style instruments. Built in Indonesia during the mid-2000s, it combines a laminated maple body with a set mahogany neck for warm resonance, sustain and comfortable playability.
Dual Yamaha humbuckers provide smooth, versatile tones suited to blues, jazz, indie, rock and general rhythm playing. The semi-hollow construction adds natural openness and depth, while the solid centre block helps reduce feedback at higher volumes.
With its distinctive Art Deco-style soundholes, bound rosewood fingerboard and gloss Tobacco Sunburst finish, the SA500 offers vintage-inspired looks with Yamaha’s reliable build quality.
