The only information I have on this comes from an Ebay sale in Australia. It is said to be a limited edition possibly of 180 units. These specs are from the sale:

The natural successor to the SF is the SFX range which look very similar but are signature models.
They are in my Rare and Unusual Yamaha section here: SFX

There is also a short lived 2002 Exart NSF New Superflighter guitar a reissue of the SF 1000 again the magic number of only 180 made is frequently mentioned.
