Fritz, that is gonna be cool. I also asked Lee if he would do that job on mine, but the price was high. (adding block inlays and refretting) Plus the paint job. I can't remember the price he gave me. I was gonna get it done, then Lee emailed me and said he would need another $75 to strip off the original finish and that soured it for me.

From what I recall, they made a very limited number of white V's in the late 70's. Probably not many in the early 80's either. Even fewer with block..but they were made obviously (the V-90). Hang onto that baby.

When Lee asked me what pickups I wanted in it, I told him Super Distortions and he laughed. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
Finally settled on Duncan Custom in the bridge & 59 in the neck. I kinda wished I would have had the DP-100s put in there, though.

Excellent! I used to have a black '85 V/ebony fretboard with a mean 500T at the bridge and a silver-cover PAF at the neck, some of the best tones I have ever heard came out of that guitar!
