I bought it new in 1981, it came with an Anvil case. It has a maple neck through body with mahogany sides, symmetrical double cutaway, active 3 band EQ, and says "Artist" on the truss rod cover.   Artvandelay Username: Artvandelay Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - 10:50 pm:    Artist Custom 2700. Wouldn't you know...found a link to a page with old catalogs on it.   Dave_g Username: Dave_g Registered: 1-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 16, 2007 - 10:52 pm:    Model # 2700, kinda rare only made for a short time. Also came without EQ (2710), These guitars were available in DS (like this one)NATURAL, and Black. Never appeared in the full catalog, but it is in a 1977 suplemental cat. The word is SUSTAIN !   Cmangeot Username: Cmangeot Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 11:18 am:    Sustain is the right word Dave, Unfortunately, the word for my 2710 right now is FEEDBACK Can you help?   Dave_g Username: Dave_g Registered: 1-2002 Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 1:05 pm:    Well, that depends...what solutions have you tried so far ? The pups are ALREADY epoxy potted right ? New Board perhaps ?   Cmangeot Username: Cmangeot Registered: 4-2005 Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 6:11 pm:    Hey Dave, No this is the 2710 that I restored from Kahler misery. It currently has 77's in it, and it actually has belonged to others on the site, who subsequently got rid of it due to the kahler and "feedback". Must have gone microphonic, Didn't you say you had some super 88's layin around? I don't particularly care for the tri sound anyway, I am just dying to use this guitar live. The bridge pickup goes nuts when you turn on ANY gain whatsoever, no matter how little. I think replacement is the only option. Thanks, Chris   Michaelkaufman Username: Michaelkaufman Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Thursday, May 17, 2007 - 8:59 pm:    Chris: A little pricey, however, maybe just what you need: Ebay Item #140118974581 mk
