This guitar was made between '87-'88 in Korea.
It had 24 frets, neck thru body, white finish, a very interesting shape, and it is a headless guitar with Steinberger sound licensed tuners. It has 2 humbuckers, 1 tone, 1 volume, and a 3 way toggle.
Sound

I play a lot of rock, classic and new, and it fits my musical style exceptionally. I play it through an old '70's Carvin twin 12 and a Boss ME-3 multi efx pad. It has noise free operation on all pickup combos. It has a wonderfully full sound and sustain that goes on forever, with or without distortion. It has superb tonal range. My only beef with the sound is, when you turn down the volume knob, it cuts the highs a little too much, but that is a small price to pay for such great sustain.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
No Opinion
I don't have much to say about the original factory fit and finish, because I got it used. All the hardware is still in tip top shape though. I'm a lefty, so the Steinberger tuning system made tranferring it to a lefty very simple.
Reliability/Durability

I play this thing constantly, and the only problem I have with it is that the jack insert sometimes comes out. You very rarely have to re-tune it. So far, the reliability has been wonderful.

I've been playing for about 11 years. I also have a Peavey Patriot, but it is definately my secondary guitar. I would love to know more about this line of instuments. I really love the eye-catching body design, but I really wished it had a tremolo system.
