I've owned this fine instrument for 26 years, and I've never been able to find the exact model number. I bought it new in 1981, it came with an Anvil case. It has a maple neck through body with mahogany sides, symmetrical double cutaway, active 3 band EQ, and says "Artist" on the truss rod cover.

Model # 2700, kinda rare only made for a short time. Also came without EQ (2710), These guitars were available in DS (like this one)NATURAL, and Black. Never appeared in the full catalog, but it is in a 1977 suplemental cat. The word is SUSTAIN !

Sustain is the right word Dave,

Unfortunately, the word for my 2710 right now is FEEDBACK:-)

Can you help?

Well, that depends...what solutions have you tried so far ? The pups are ALREADY epoxy potted right ? New Board perhaps ?

Hey Dave,

No this is the 2710 that I restored from Kahler misery. It currently has 77's in it, and it actually has belonged to others on the site, who subsequently got rid of it due to the kahler and "feedback". Must have gone microphonic, Didn't you say you had some super 88's layin around? I don't particularly care for the tri sound anyway, I am just dying to use this guitar live. The bridge pickup goes nuts when you turn on ANY gain whatsoever, no matter how little. I think replacement is the only option.
Thanks,
Chris

Chris:

A little pricey, however, maybe just what you need:
