Greetings-
I have been searching for a decent burny for quite some time now. I finally pulled the trigger and got this one from an online dealer in the US. I've been lurking for a while, and I've gained a wealth of knowledge from reading through these forums.
I've pretty much concluded that this is an earlies nineties MIJ model, but I wanted to hear everyones thoughts...
Its cherry sunburst, two screw winged bell trussrod cover (checked for additional screw holes and there were none), medium tennon (sits flush with the beginning of the pickup cavity), black and grey wires for the pickups. The covers were taken off, you can see the actual scratches on the pickup, which I don't mind. The knobs were replaced as well.
Any thoughts? Year, pickups, etc.... Also, heres where I need a little schooling.... Inside the pickup cavity you can see two different sections of wood. So would you call this a two piece body with a maple top? Little confused there...
Either way, I'm a proud new burny owner and I love this axe. The neck/fretboard feel like they were designed for my hands and it plays like butter. Super low action. Very excited about this guitar, can't wait to get it set up and re-strung!
Put the pics in flickr, let me know if I should post these differently.
