I just got this guitar:

Only 82 bucks (I got the shipping price reduced). I was afraid that this thing would be too worn out; I've never purchased an axe older than 8 years.

 

But, to my surprise, this thing is in very good condition. The neck is almost mint, the frets have almost no wear on them. The neck has a patina on it that's very much like the one on Peavey Predators.

 

The only issue is the electronics. I think the pots are starting to go as the guitar goes mute every once in a while, but the pups may just stay; they sound good, even if they are ceramics.

 

By the way, Frets99 has that pretty pink one of these.

Mine has the pointy headstock and is from `88. It also had onboard pre-amp/boost electronics, but they don't seem to work anymore. Still plays and makes guitar sounds though.

 

Mine was intermittent as well, but it was the 5-way switch. Really bad switch, replaced that with one from my junk box and all is well.

 

Very nice neck, but a bit chunkier than is my norm. I'm debating wether to keep it and stick four GFS mod boards in the pre-amp compartment (it's got a battery box for two 9 volts) or ditch it for a small profit.
