I have an AM-50 that I bought about 6 years ago because I liked the way it felt and played. After having it for all this time and still liking it better than any other guitar in my room I would like to find out about its' roots. Can anyone fill me in on specs, original cost, etc?

Harry:

My '83-84 catalog says:

Body: Laminated Maple
Neck: Maple, 3 ply
Fingerboard: Rosewood, dot markers
Machine Heads: Smooth tuner
Scale: 24-3/4"
Pickups: Super 58
Controls: 2 Vol., 2 Tone, 3 way toggle
Bridge: Gibraltar II
Tailpiece: Quik Change II
Control knobs: Sure Grip II
Hardware: Chrome
Finish: Brown Sunburst only
No pickguard

It looks like the only difference between an AM50 and and AM100 is the Metallic Black finish and a pickguard.

Now, the difference between the 50/100 and 205 is much more pronounced.
