Hi everyone !
I have just bought a gorgeous AT1. Flame top, superb sunburst. I am quite happy to have found one in Europe, in excellent condition. It must have been barely played a few times in its 30 years of existence. Lucky me !
Here are my questions :
Are the Kent Armstrong pickups made in USA ? I have read here and there that Kent Armstrong makes pickups in USA, but has also an asian production line of pickups. I doubt that they would have put asian pickups in a made in USA guitar, but I wanted to check this with you guys.
Now the tricky one :
My AT1 has the 4x2 tuners. Its serial number dates it from 1995. I have read around that a limited number of AT1s had this 4x2 tuners disposition in 1995, before they appeared in the 1996 catalog with 3x3 tuners. The number of guitars varies : 20 ? 30 ? 50 ? I have tried to contact Fender but they don't have the records prior when they bought Jackson. Does anyone has a precise number, or any clue to find one ?
Thank you very much for your help !
