The following image is in the SC section of the Pictures Gallery:

Though the later SC-3s are quite common, the first "Mustang-style" body is a rarebird with an estimated production of 350. This is the same body that appears on the SC-1, but unlike the SC-1 the SC-3 employs the use of the "Strat-style" single coil MFD pickups.

Also check out this page on Greg Gagliano's site for more information and specifications.
