help on a new purchase

Kilo Posted 2006-12-10 8:22 PM (#227424) Subject: help on a new purchase Joined: November 2006 Posts: 3 Just bought a CSAT47-VS, and was hoping someone could decipher this for me. Bought it new off ebay, and wondering just what it is. I am assuming it is a Celebrity (or is it a celebrity deluxe?), I know it is made in Korea, and has the OP30 preamp. What else can anyone tell me? Is it a shallow bowl, mid-bowl, or deep bowl? What is with all the letters, since most do not have that many before the numbers in the model. I haven't received the guitar yet, so I don't have the serial number. Yeah, I know I should have asked all this before I bought this but I just got on the bay and it was there with 3 minutes to go. Since it was new, and they retailed for over $800, it was a smoking deal (at least I think so, guess that remains to be seen). Anyway, I just bought it to learn to play on, so I don't think I could've gone wrong. Anything anyone can tell me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
