Thanks for the information. This is a heavy guitar I was thinking maple body, kind of like my vintage les paul. I was mostly in search of which factory it was made at etc. This is a excellent players guitar I raelly like playing it. I have mostly played a 69 les paul since it was new and an early squire telecaster top load and I like this rig just feels good and a pretty dark light sparkle blue. Were they good sellers should have been built like a truck.
