Awesome 80's shredder made of quality woods, with fast and thin neck made for fast soloing. It is basically a bolt-on sister of the Gibson U-2 model, also made in USA with similar parts and materials - real bang for the buck.

I bought one at a Corrosion of Conformity concert in Memphis, TN in 1997. They held an auction with all proceeds going to the children's hospital so they could have Christmas. Mine is pearl white. Came with OBL blade pickups, and steinberger trem. I put a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails in the neck, and a Kent armstrong Motherbucker in the bridge. The bridge can be locked or floating. It has a push/pull coil tap for the bridge pickup. It retailed for $799.00. I picked it up for $200.00. Its been my goto axe for 21 years. Oh yeah, its autographed by Sevendust too.

I found one of these at a pawnshop it was dusty and with rusty strings but look promising , Up close the thing had a schaller Floyd Rose just that alone was way worth the asking price i don't think they knew what they had , Long story short this guitar is amazing ebony fretboard , ash body a thin finish , Grover tuners and nice pickups don't know the brand i'd imagine Gibson and It sounds and feels great not letting it go anytime soon

The pickups were made by Bill Lawrence, same as the ones used in Gibson U-2 models.
