Is the body on this thing original?

Yes, it would be hard to change the body, it being a set neck guitar :-)

It's a '94 AS80 made in Korea. They switched from having the mickey mouse ears as seen on this one to the pointy AS200 style at some point in the '90s.

Thanks Sven. I thought it was a frankenstien it was early before my coffee. It's one of those times you wish this forum had a delete button.

There was an AS model that did have a bolt on neck. I think it was the early 90s AS50?

freak, do you have a first name we can call you by? :-)

I've had a few of those early Sunday pre-caffeine premature-post-button incidents.

John's right, there was a Korean AS50 from the late '80s early '80s with a bolt neck and open pickups that did not appear in US catalogs. I cant find any pictures to post. I think it was sold in other countries along with the Korean AM50 and AM80 models.

Brian is my 1st name. My wife calls me something else but we'll leave that out of here.
