The serial number on the back of the headstock is L795247. There is no "Crafted in Japan" decal on the back. Also, what pups were standard on this model? I need one Sure Grip I knob and pick-up covers to bring this back to looking like new. Any suggestions? Thanks very much!!

Got pictures?   Mikeh Username: Mikeh Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Wednesday, June 06, 2007 - 8:06 pm:    Hey Acetan: Can you advise how to post to this site? I've got the images on Photobucket but can't get them posted here. Sorry, and thanks!

Stacey   Sabeking Username: Sabeking Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Thursday, June 07, 2007 - 4:20 pm:    MK, I wish I had seen this site before... That is the best layout of the catalogs I have seen.

But from 1980 to 1981 they changed the body from birch to laminated maple and in 1982 it went out of production. I have an A82 one. Regards :-J
