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.
