..'cos this aint...

I had too...sometimes you just see a colour and see the grain and have to buy..in this case it could have been any manufatured body, but its not, its a IROKO wood with a thin nitro skin and weighing in at 3,5 Lbs..The history of these guitars is interesting of course, with the old Van Nuys build USA guitars bringing in top money.
This was advertised as a MIJ Schecter body from around '84...however reading the history of the guitars I'm not so sure.Who cares, with the rarity of the wood and the weight, I can't wait to put my 22 fret rosewood AAA birdeye neck onto this beauty.This is my x-mas present for 2009.
