Mahogany body in three tone burst, might be a one piece body, I can't find a join on it.

The neck one this one is ultra slim, probably the thinnest neck I've ever played. I got this one about six months ago, it had recently had a refret and the tuners have been changed to locking Sperzels. For a thirty year old guitar it's still going strong, it has plenty of dings and scratches on the body. The electronics are still working fine and the humbucking MFDs are really powerful, it easily overloads the clean channel on a Super Champ XD.

Thanks guys. It's a really funky guitar, I'm liking the MFD humbuckers a lot, power to spare and then some !

I wonder what they would be like in an ASAT ? I presume that's been done before in a limited edition model ?

If not it should be !

Any initials or signatures on the inside? :)

Very nice.

I would have preferred ones with "Series I" necks too, but they seem to be very rare, so I ended up with Series II for both of mine.

For it's a lefty, it must be extremely rare. ;)
