I bought one used for $350. A STEAL! Played it and had to have it. Same construction, but no controls; just the pickup under the bridge. this one was an 85. It's my understanding these are the early handmade models by Yari. Everyone that plays it loves it. The newer ones aren't the same. For a while I played a newer one a friend had-no comparison.
It was one of those "picked it up and knew I had to have it" deals. I have a Rickenbacker that was like that too. Go into debt if you have to but by it when it speaks to you.
