I added red side LED's and upgraded to Series II electronics upon purchase prior to shipping. It already had a 7 piece purple heart/maple neck so it was destined to become a Series II all along. Long scale 34" neck, oval inlays, gold tuners, includes power supply and 5 pin cord, bookmatched top, back, and peghead. Condition is near mint. Serial #89-5697 completed on Dec. 21, 1989. Asking $8250.00. Contact me for additional pics and info. Thanks.

Feel like I'm getting a sneak-peek at mine. =)
