Hi Eric,

This one is in the Registry under S/N G026815 and owned by (old-)GbL member Asat Man. It is not the only Classic Sig with maple body, there are 14 in the Registry, but certainly the most beautiful. According to the text in the listing, all his other guitars (including the rather recent Phyllis "Blondie") are gone although Commemorative #113 is still registered with his name.

Don't know much more about it.

I'd love to see the matching ASAT Bass he mentioned in the ad.

This one was built by/for the late Gene Engelhardt on 5-8-90. I Know Gene and the current owner were friends. I don't know the details of the sale /purchase of the guitar.
