finally i found this. i got into the zone while comparing it to my strat and could hear it obviously beat the strat in many places. we agreed the market value was about $850 and settled on that price. unlike the 86' asat i looked at this was not all rusted with flat frets, crusty strings, and a missing bridge saddle screw. yay!
now i want to tune it up a bit. should i follow the g&l manual for a set up? also the switch has some crusty white corrosion? on it. it works but has a bit more resistance then i'd like. ideas?
thx.
