OK, I've never seen this model before.
What is it, when and where was it made, and is it any good?

Wide 12th fret dots means India. Avoidia. It's one of those S models. Well below the Performer or X series.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

PS-7, I think. Newc's right, not a great guitar. One wank on that trem and it's all over... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]"Got a crazy feeling I don't understand,

Thanks fellas.
The trem kinda looks like the Wilkinson models used by PRS. Probably just looks like it but isn't the same.Comment

PS-7. And it's got a Wilkinson, but when did PRS use them? [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] PRS makes their own trems.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

Re: And this model is... ?

I thought the tops on those were photo flames and not a real slab of maple.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

Re: And this model is... ?
I thought they were real maple. But Tekky would know - he's hotrodding his, isn't he? So he would've had it apart.Hail yesterdayComment

Re: And this model is... ?
Yeah, I think he is hotrodding his. Maybe he can chime in here. I thought the imports had either really thin, cheap veneers or photo flames.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

Re: And this model is... ?
Well then, we await the return of Tekky.
It actually looks stellar in person. I'm considering picking it up to also modify it a bit. It would be great if I could replace the whole pickguard assembly with a white pearloid Strat setup with either Fralins or Sensors, but I don't think a standard assembly would fit too well. Doesn't look the same around the neck area. Cutting out to fit the bridge wouldn't be a big deal, and neither would new screw holes, but I just don't think a normal Strat guard would fit.
Tekky?Comment

Re: And this model is... ?
I'm almost positive it's a veneer. You should be able to tell for yourself though.
When you move the guitar around, you should be able to see a "depth" to the wood grain if it's real maple. A gravure top is just a picture of a piece of flamed maple with a burst finish over it to cover the edges, so you won't see the same 3 dimensionality. Hey, good word, that.
