Nato is an Asian Pacific relative of Mahogany.

IMO, the obvious way to nail the Angus sound on an all-mahogany guitar such as yours would be with the Angus signature pickup. If that is disproportionately expensive relative to the value of the guitar, try a Pearly Gates bridge PU and one of the AlNiCo 2 neck PUs.

Interesting. I know Gibson makes Angus Young signature SG, but didn't know they also make a sig. pickup. But the pickups on my SBG already sounds vintage enough for that kind of stuff/
Anyway I am not fan of AC/DC, I just like some of their stuff casually and it's fun to play their songs once in a while. If one day I change the pickups on my SBG, I will go for a versatile combo. I play classic rock, instrumentals(Eric Johnson, Neil Zaza, Satch), and some prog (Dream Theater). The Alnico 2 in the neck is for sure, but will Custom Custom work?

Yes, it's an authentic Yamaha SBG200. I had the pearl white model as well. I had to sell mine to pay bills. :-( I'm getting ready to buy it back, though! AMAZING guitar. Congratulations!

Mr. Rik Emmett used to play those. I have played a few back in the day. Excellent guitar!

Now for the aesthetics: Black speed knobs, black pups and rings.

Awesome score!

I had an SG2000 which dated to the late seventies…it weighed a ton but had great tone…now wish that I never got rid of it!
 
Re: New Yamaha SG Day! Oh Yeah!

Hi just join the site, i to have an sg 2000 with nothing on the headstock too! no yamaha and no decoration! i've been on other sites about this guitar and found that it is a genuine yamaha made in 1980 but no clues as to why it has nothing on the headstock?
