what guitar is this

Also, I believe that

Predator: scalloped heel (as seen in photo)
Model 3DR: no scallop at heel

Correct.

Plus, wasn't the 3DR one of those in-between body shapes, where it wasn't exactly a Dinky?

[Jacksonite]

that makes this a Pred....

Cool thanks guys

The 3DR is actually identicle to the original Ontario Dinkys. The later Dinky had longer horns and deeper horn cuts.

Forget I asked. I just went back over my notes from my work on the MoAIP and the Predator was in fact 1990-1991. My mistake. Sorry.

Wrong! In the 1989 catalog the Predator is listed plain as day, check the last page!

I don't have the catalog. As I stated, I'm going by the old MoAIP. If it's wrong, then so be it. It's not like the MoAIP matters anymore.

wow, I started world war Model 3

Good info! I've always wondered if the 3DR to Predator transition skipped a year for that model altogether. I thought the last 3DR was 88 and the first Predator was 90. I guess that catalog fills this void huh!
....and now we know.....the rest of the story!
