Hi there. Here's another one 8-) Ser# 80202277 Fotos see https://fotos.gmx.ne...6aF4tq1dAQ98701 I bought it here in Berlin/Germany about 20 years (January 1994) ago, as it was my late wife's present for my 40th birthday. The shop was Checkpoint in Kochstr, people told to go over to the States frequently to bring some seleceted guitars to Berlin - happy me. There I paid 1.600,- D-Mark which is now about 800,- Euro or about 1.000,- US Dollar Perfect condition except the owner before scratched small marks next to the potis - why to do such a thing ...? The electric was somehow special (original??) as the two volume potis were push-pull setting the respective PU out-of-phase. I really liked that sound. Last year I got the electronics replaced to "vintage" by Berlin guitar maker Nick Page, what kind of "opened the sound curtain". And lately I got the PUs exchanged with handmade PAF-style by the Berlin craftsman Frank Deimel, warm and round and with a smack. As I wanted to retain that out-of-phase sound he explained that by slightly turning one vol down the effect disappears anyway so I've got them OoP and continue to enjoy that sound, especially for clear picking patterns. The only problem I have is that the e'-string is very close to the edge, so sometimes I slip the string off the fretboard, but that just needs a bit more controlled movement than some others. All in all this guitar served me well in any condition and is the "Great Lady" of my collection, though sometimes a simple SG is the first choice to play around for a moment. And thanks to you folks to show your other guitars, always nice to see beautifull guitars. Is it that the nature one has a slightly thicker body or is just the light?
