I have had mine since new 1983/4 Still all original except all wiring been redone. If you pull up t(e volume knob and play with the tone knob and put the switch in one of the 3 positionsI can’t remember, maybe the neck single coil, you get a fender Telecaster sound! Now that versatile! On stage I run through 100w Marshall and quad. This quest is my baby and my main hard rock axe.❤
Hey I have this guitar the original tone knobs are cylindrical type because the volume knob pulls out to split your pickups to single coils. Mine pretty much original other than the knobs cause they had rubber grips that end up dry rotting and falling off.
Thanks for the comment. Yeah the original knobs on this one were long gone when I got it. But there was a push-pull pot included, so interesting to know that they went with the extra coil split feature!
Yeah, it was a common serial number format with the 80s and some 70s Japanese guitars. I've also seen it on Ibanez and Greco that way. Very handy compared to the random numbers on some US guitars.
I have 1 of these I bought it new The bridge on mine is black.
Glad to run across this video most people have never heard of these things
Cool you kept it that long! I'm happy to keep the memories of the 80s alive!
I bought brand new black one in ‘84. Wish I had of kept it just for nostalgia
@@jeffgreen2448 surprisingly good for a cheap guitar. The look and sound of it definitely surprises people.

Cool. My serial is C400139. I was wondering what it all meant.

I have this guitar bridge is not original nor are the string trees. Volume knob on mine is a push pull switch that separates the humbuckers
You are correct, good spotting!
