I think i own this beaut. Unless there is another identical one with the modified trem and the same case. It's wonderful. Sounds like a cross between an sg and less paul.

Cool. Would love to know the serial number and internal codes to date it. Probably made early to mid 1983.

These aren’t in any catalogs. Apparently an SD or TSD70.
