NGD. Boutique Superstrat edition

[ThePitbullofLove]

Picked up a Zion in trade last night, Hoover-era. Mann made bridge, ebony board, Sperzel tuners, Bill Lawrence Pickups I’ve been told. I think it’s a “Classic”? Previous owner said according to Zion build started in ‘96 and finished in early ‘97.
She looks more purple-ish in person than in pix, where she has a reddish cast

Damn nice score there! Always was intrigued by the Zions.

They’re made here in NC. This one acts built back in the day right here in my hometown. A lot of local luminaries seem to love them so I figured I’d take a shot with it. Fantastic workmanship

another brand I used to drool over in the ads in guitar mags. They all seemed so exotic from over here in Oz.

Man, that's a beauty! Great Score!

Me too. Even though this guitar was made here in the city I live in, they’re not exactly a common find, though I’m sure there are more here than in Oz for sure!

Thanks man! The trade was, I think, really fortuitous on my end.

I'll admit I know nothing about this brand but that looks nice. First time I've seen a 5-screw trem (instead of 6 screws).
