Help identifying unusual import Dinky?

[Dave L]

I just came across this on a site here in Sweden...

http://www.blocket.se/view/5978970.h...l=0&c=1&city=0

To me it looks like an imported version of the SDK1, but I´ve never seen one like it. The headstock I guess puts it somewhere in the last half of the nineties, but I can´t recall seeing it in any catalogues. Anyone familiar with this?

Yeah, it surprised me as well... he calls it a ST1, but I´ve never heard of a ST-series. I guess the logical full name for a ST would be a Stealth, but it doesn´t look like one of those either. It looks pretty much like a copy of the ill-fated "Super Dinky" SDK1, right down to the funky horns, H/S/H pickups and the mapleboard. Only difference is the JT580 instead of the OFR.

It's not a Stealth. First there was the Stealth Pro (ebony board), followed by the EX and XL versions. Then came the TH-series models. That guitar looks like an import SDK2, but I've never seen one with a maple board. Otherwise, everything else would be a correct match.

So there actually was a SDK2? Then I guess I wasn´t too far off the mark in describing it just like an import SDK1 [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Thanks for your help, guys!
