WitSok wrote:I still am convinced it is a USA body. I did s search on G&L Tribute Premium Japan - the Japan line carries the premium name. All the picture I found for S type guitars had Gotoh tuners and bridge. The bridge in your picture is a DFV, so in my opinion it cannot be Japan and it is too early for Korean or Indonesian Tributes. Someone turned it into a partcaster which is why I would expect it is $100 pawn. I say it is good deal, it has at least one original pickup, USA body, and the DFV bridge.

Sorry for posting these as links... for some reason when I try to include them with the IMG tag the forum software gives me an error that says "It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image."

Katefan wrote:The neck pickup has a grey fibre bobbin much like Fender was using in the late 60's but the centre hole is too small and the wires would have been plastic (white & black) coated instead of cloth. Should the pole pieces be staggered that along with the cloth wire I would say its a reissue Fender pickup but should they be flush then most likely not…
