🇯🇵 Yamaha Super Flighter SF500 - 1978 - Vintage White - Made in Japan - Original Case, Manual & Strap 🇯🇵

 

A cool and increasingly hard-to-find piece of late-70s Japanese guitar history.

 

Just arrived at Chordplay is this 1978 Yamaha Super Flighter SF500, finished in Vintage White and presented in exceptional condition for a guitar approaching 50 years old. Dating has been confirmed via the headstock serial number and the original pickup baseplate stamps, both pointing to a 1978 production date.

 

The Super Flighter series was Yamaha’s answer to the growing demand for high-performance solid body guitars in the late 1970s. While many Japanese manufacturers were busy producing copies, Yamaha were quietly building their own identity, combining superb craftsmanship, original designs and excellent hardware. The result is a guitar that feels every bit as well made as you’d expect from a top Japanese instrument of the era.

 

This example is particularly special as it retains a remarkable amount of its original package. Included is the original Yamaha hard case, original Yamaha owner’s manual and even the original Yamaha strap, items that are very rarely found together nearly five decades later.

 

Condition is excellent overall and arguably one of the cleanest examples we’ve seen. There is a small touched-in chip to the front edge of the headstock and the typical lacquer checking around the neck joint that is commonly found on guitars of this age. Neither issue affects playability or structural integrity in any way. Beyond that, the guitar has clearly been cherished throughout its life and presents beautifully.

 

The original Yamaha pickups remain fitted and are date stamped. They deliver everything you’d hope for from a great late-70s Japanese guitar: clear, articulate cleans with plenty of bite and warmth when pushed.

 

At 9lb 4.4oz this is a substantial instrument with excellent sustain and resonance. The neck is comfortable, the frets have plenty of life remaining and it has been fully checked over and set up here at Chordplay, ready for its next owner.

 

A fantastic opportunity to own a genuine vintage Japanese Yamaha with rare original accessories and one of the coolest model names ever fitted to a headstock.

Heavy-Duty 4 AWG Cable With Flexible Insulation
Size: 10ft, Color: 4awg
I am satisfied with this 4 AWG cable. The insulation coating is soft, and the cable itself is very pliable, making it easy to bend and route into the configuration needed for installation. Despite the flexibility, it still feels like a heavy-duty cable designed to handle demanding applications. I am using this cable to provide the necessary amperage to start the generator on my trailer, and it performs as expected. I also like that the wire gauge and cable properties are clearly printed along the side of the insulation, making identification easy during installation or future maintenance. The cable arrived in good condition with no obvious odor from the insulation or packaging. Overall, this appears to be a quality heavy-duty cable that is flexible, easy to work with, and suitable for high-current applications.

True copper battery cables that are high quality
Size: 10ft, Color: 4awg
I love having heavy duty cable on hand for my cars. It's so nice to be able to make your own starter and alternator cables when restoring cars. These cables are 100% copper, not CCA (copper clad aluminum) like many others are. Copper is far superior for conductivity and handling higher loads. The rubber on the cable is thick and yet very flexible..it's clearly marked and seems very durable. I like to use a hydraulic crimping tool and then add marine grade heat shrink tubing with the adhesive inside of it to keep it as weatherproof as possible.

Great cable
With no other reviews I was a bit hesitant to buy this cable at first. I've seen so many other brands and sellers that sell cable that is half the gauge they claim. Or cable that is not totally copper and has tin or other poor metals in it. Especially at this low price I worried. I went ahead and bought some anyway though and figured I would chance it. For the amount of money I'd be saving it was worth it. If it wasn't as advertised I could just return it anyway. It arrived in a couple days. It is truly 1/0 AWG, and it is 100% copper. Strands packed dense but still flexible. Comes in a nice carry case. I crimped and soldered on some ends. Everything looks great and is working great. Would definitely recommend and would buy again.
