However, it's an 'early' reissue, not one of the newer reissues. I'll let you know, since I bought it. We'll see... |

Here's some excerpts from old postings: (Spiro): Info on this that I have collected. Released 1996 in Japan, Europe and Australia... These were created from surplus stock found at Hoshino.... Old stock Included... Super 80's pickups (note that only the artist has 2 bass side screws on the pickup.) Cloud tailpieces and truss rod covers... The tuners and bridges are all new stock (notice the tuner are standart Gotoh types with pearloid buttons) ----- (Captain Ibanez): SUBJECT: CLASSIC 80'S RE-ISSUES John, the 80's Ledgend Re-issues are indeed a true and living product. There were 4 models models made to the old specs built between 1996 and discontinued in Dec 1998, they are as follows: 2681NT Bob Weir model MC300DS Musician series.. with the 2 x Tri-sound switches. AR300 CS MC924DS Musician series Bass. |

It certainly doesn't answer all the questions such as why does the one that I just purchased has Super 58's (vs. Super 80's) and no cloud tailpiece? Also, why was it made in Korea instead of Japan? |

Michael, I recall seeing various AR 'Reissue' Special/Limited Editions sold by Guitar Center back in the 90's that had the features of the one you just bought. This may be one of those. |
