That's a fine looking guitar. The one I owned played really well too.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

woof

That might be a good deal, depending on how it plays.

What's up with the 2 extra cavity control plates on the back, though? One looks factory, the black one looks like it was added later.

Nice root beer finish, but the AL2000 sold for $250 new.

Yeah, this. It looks like it was routed with a chisel.

Ah yes. Someone spotted the secret sauce. Enlarge that photo as all is not as it appears.

Looks pretty mangled. I'm not sure I would drop 200 on a mint example, unless it was an exceptional player. I like the color a lot.

I bet the seller chiseled it out to add a sustainer, sold the original pickups, decided he hates the guitar but loves the pickups, so he dropped in some extra strat pickups that were laying around. Either that or he tried to do his own weight relief and didn’t think to use a drill.
