funny that so many talk about 25 years ago because that's when I got mine. Lol. The blue one, with case, 160 bucks at a little shop in Illinois, roselle music. I took lessons there and it was on the wall one Saturday and I remember staring at it. Owner asked if I wanted to handle it. I told him I had a lesson but afterward I would. He handed it to me and told me to use it in my lesson (that prompted a 5 min diversion as my teacher looked it over) I bought it on my way out. Had some work done and did some myself, installed a tune o matic bridge, swapped pickups to a custom wound high output set, sent the neck off to Chris woods in California because he was doing LED inlays and I asked him to do LED under mother of pearl Shankfin and it came out great. Currently it's in storage as life happens but I'm looking forward to getting it out again.
