I was playing mandolin all night and our singer invited a picker from another band and I got to hear it for the first time while someone else ripped a killer break on an original. Incredible sound. Sealed the deal and I hadn't ever played it yet? I love this axe. I am not a gearhead so much, but play professionally. This thing fills a perfect place between my super tweaked b-bender and a PRS Hollowbody ll. Couple of interesting things. It has a 7.25 radius and a really translucent finish. The grain show through so seductively it looks like a sheer nightgown on a superfox. Serial #CL02886. Can anyone tell me more about her? Thanks and hope all is remains well for all, Adam
I will try to get pict up ASAP. Thanks.

Welcome to our site!
Here's your photo inline:
Since it has black crinkle bridge and control plate and the serial number pre-fix is "CL0", it is an ASAT model likely built in 1997.
See:
Serial number significance
1996-97 Catalog, Page 2
1997 Retail Price List, Page 1
I, too, would like to see a photo of the headstock.
Congrats, it is a beauty!
Also, note that the neck radius is 7 1/2", see: What are the USA neck size options, past and present?
Please do edit the Registry entry and add yourself as the current owner.
Hope this helps.
