Location: Rocky River, Ohio | I like the looks of the Vintage finish, -V, which is a yellow to orange sunburst. They are fairly rare in the deep bowl non cutaway.
I sent mine in to the mother ship a couple of years ago, and it came back "as-new"
They used one piece maple epaulets, and were only around for a few years starting in 93. Early ones had the FET-3 preamp.
I'll try and post some pics of mine in the gallery when i get home.
Thanks, Ernie |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | I'm with Ernie, who knows his stuff. The deep bowl non-cutaway is the best sounding of the Standards, since one might find an Elite #1868 for not much more than a shallow cutaway Standard, and the step up is worth it, imho. |
