As you can see, it was pretty bad when I bought it but not bad now. I only bought it for the pickups but when I played it at home, AWESUM! Draecothedragon Username: Draecothedragon Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Thursday, December 02, 2004 - 5:01 pm:    It has 2 volume and 2 tone controls like a GAX70 and it has the ferrules for the string-thru-body arrangement but: - the intonation device looks like one from a GAX 30; - the socket is on the front near the 2 rear knobs; - the pickups are double humbuck rails with 3 hole/screw adjustment. I think it is an early model as it was really knocked around when I bought it. High school woodwork to the rescue. It is a truely AWESUM play and sound - SHREDDER!. Any ideas?

Draecothedragon Username: Draecothedragon Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Sunday, December 05, 2004 - 4:28 pm:    Hi Johns, no, nothing in the way of serial no on the headstock. < :=) Draecothedragon Username: Draecothedragon Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Sunday, December 12, 2004 - 4:27 pm:    Hi everyone, Bekky Lawrence has kindly confrimed to be last week that these pups are Bill Lawrence L-90s. That's one mystery solved! Draecothedragon Username: Draecothedragon Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Tuesday, December 21, 2004 - 4:37 pm:    Anyhting else from anyone? I would have thought that there was more info out there with the amount of knowledge that gets displayed on this site.

This looks like one of the first Musician Guitar Prototypes. It is very strange I will say that. The funny thing is the bridge is from the 1980's and so are the tuners? Where did it come from (What Country or State) This sometimes solves the mystery quickly. Draecothedragon Username: Draecothedragon Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Monday, January 03, 2005 - 4:36 pm:    Thanx Jim, Sorry, the tuners are new, my addition as the old ones were totally hopeless, they would not stay in tune and some were broken so i installed some Gotoh copies bought from my local luthier. As to orogon, I bought it locally, I live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Thanx for your consideration, Jim.
