Yamaha SA2200 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar – Violin Sunburst | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Yamaha SA2200 is a professional-grade, Japanese-made semi-hollow electric guitar that brings a classic double-cutaway design to life with premium materials and refined Yamaha craftsmanship. Dual Alnico V humbuckers with push/pull coil splits deliver a tonal range that covers warm jazz, cutting blues, and everything in between. Whether you're a working gigging musician or a discerning collector, the SA2200 is a serious instrument built to last a lifetime.
Product Overview
The SA2200 is built around a laminated sycamore semi-hollow body with a soft maple center block — a construction approach that captures the airy resonance and natural feedback control of a true semi-hollow while the center block keeps feedback manageable at higher gain levels. The gloss Violin Sunburst finish is elegant and timeless, complemented throughout by gold hardware that reinforces the guitar's vintage-inspired aesthetic.
The mahogany set-in neck features a comfortable Soft D profile and a 24.75" scale length, pairing naturally with the body's warm resonant character. The 22-fret ebony fingerboard offers a smooth, dense playing surface with a 13.75" radius — flatter than many vintage-style instruments — making it equally suited to chord work and single-note lines. Pearloid block inlays and a bone nut round out a neck package that feels and looks like a professional instrument should.
Electronics are where the SA2200 earns its versatility. Dual proprietary Yamaha Alnico V humbuckers run through a 3-way selector, with push/pull coil splits on the controls unlocking true single-coil tones from both pickups — giving players a wide tonal palette from one guitar without sacrificing clarity or output.

Key Features
Dual Yamaha Alnico V Humbuckers with Coil Splits Both the neck and bridge positions are loaded with Yamaha's proprietary Alnico V humbuckers, delivering articulate, warm tone with excellent note definition. Push/pull coil splits on the controls open up bright, spanky single-coil tones — effectively doubling the tonal range available without adding extra switching clutter.
Laminated Sycamore Body with Soft Maple Center Block Sycamore brings a touch of brightness and clarity to the semi-hollow platform, while the soft maple center block controls feedback and adds sustain. The result is a tonally balanced instrument that works as naturally in a quiet jazz setting as it does on a loud stage.
Ebony Fingerboard Ebony is among the densest and most responsive fingerboard materials available, contributing to the SA2200's crisp note attack and excellent sustain. The 13.75" radius and medium-jumbo frets make for a fast, comfortable playing experience across the full range of the neck.
Mahogany Set-In Neck with Dual-Action Truss Rod The mahogany Soft D neck profile offers a relaxed, ergonomic feel suited to long playing sessions, while the dual-action truss rod provides precise relief adjustment in either direction — an important feature for players in variable climate conditions.
Gotoh Hardware Throughout A Gotoh Tune-O-Matic bridge with individual saddles and stopbar tailpiece ensures solid intonation and reliable string anchoring, while vintage-style sealed Gotoh tuners in gold finish provide smooth, stable tuning that complements the guitar's classic look.
