Hi Everyone - I spent a lot of time trying to find any information on this guitar, but I couldn't even find one photo. In addition to the photo I've included, it's serial number is S93120024, it has one volume and one tone, 2 humbuckers, a set neck, 22 frets, black hardware except where someone replaced it, and the lead pickup is framed by a bridge plate similar to a Telecaster lead pickup.

It plays great, it's well balanced, and the tone screams.

Can anyone help with the identification? Any idea on what it may be worth?

Thanks,

- Charlie

Sorry, Charlie..I have seen the carved-top GR 520s go for about 500 euros sometimes, and I have seen far greater asking prices.. But all in all, the Ghostriders are quite seldom seen guitars, and the model that you have is the rarest of them. That fact might raise the price on the market? Al Jourgensen used to play one of those 320s.. btw. that GR 320 is a flat-topped one, those other two have carved tops. GR 320 was produced 93-94 only, and the Ghostriders disappeared 1996, some say that production was pricey and the sales were not-so-good.. who knows..
The prototype of the Ghostrider was btw. called "Voodoo Cowboy" :-)
