I call it a Gen II AR300. It should have had Super 58's. Gen I: - 1979 through 1st half 1980 - Super 80's - thinner/lighter - totally smooth heel - essentially a 2619 renamed to AR300 Gen II: - 2nd half 1980 and on - Super 58's - thicker/heavier - different heel Here's an interesting catalog shot...the pictures show Super 80 pickups, however, the descriptions mention the "new Super 58" pickups: http://www.t3-kundenserver.de/htmlpages/redasys/_c ore/databases/t_meinl-uploads/1980_stepahead_meinl .pdf mk |

"the descriptions mention the "new Super 58" pickups" I see only AR500's and AR250's descriptions mention Super 58, AR100 V2, and AR300's description is about tri-sound, nothing else about pup type/model. As if this is important Juha |

yes - I suspect all but the 'low-end' AR100 evolved similarly. I think the Super 80 was phased out mid-1980. mk |
