Looks like a koa top, zebrawood back and maybe walnut and maple neck. It did not come with a wood-card. Here are some pictures: Check out the crazy number of laminations on the back of the headstock. Were the gold tuners original?

We typically used chrome for their durability, but I'm sure we used whatever we could find some days. top: Koa back: Zebrawood body: Maple neck: 5-piece Maple and Walnut scale: 24.75" medium fingerboard: Ebony inlays: mother of pearl originally made for LD Heater birthday: not recorded One previous registered owner in NJ, who bought it used in 2003. Looks like you were correct with your wood guesses! flpete1uw Senior Member Username: flpete1uw Post Number: 453 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Thursday, February 26, 2015 - 5:19 pm:    That would be the guitar sister to my 75-215 Series 1 Bass. Same wood recipe.

This was considered a rare special piece of wood shared with a guitar made for Greg Lake. There have only been a handful of confirmed guitar / basses made with it. love it! Pete
