You don't see many of these. And the BIN price was close to what you'd pay for an AS80. BTW, this is a '96, not a late '80s model.

Good eyes! I don't remember seeing this model before. Interesting that it isn't in the '96 catalog, but does show in the '97 thru '99 catalogs.
Except for the gold hardware, flame maple and block inlays, it's pretty much an AS200. Nice surprise that it has a Tri-sound. |

The AS180 was essentially a stripped down AS200, with dot inlays, chrome hardware and plain maple. $1399 list vs. $2,099 for the AS200. It is quite common to see production the year before they introduce a model - I actually see this all the time.
