Finally I got this one.
A friend of mine called me and said hey whats this worth?He was at a pawn shop in town.He was telling me about it and I knew guitar in question.
He was going to get it and put some money down on it to hold it.I told him I wanted it because I knew the original owner and its history.
The pawn shop wouldn't hold it for him when I called him back(I was on my way there)so he said if you want it buy it so I did.
Here's the history W/O #8800 the original owner(another friend)ordered it in 85 along with an 85 Charvel (5490 second to last Charvel USA. in gallery BTW).
He used both guitars on tour opening for Deep Purple in 86.
1499 was originally a real snake skin with a Kahler.He wore out the snake skin and refined it in 87 with comics out of the newspaper.
Beetle Bailey,Peanuts,Garfield and Ziggy.Found a copyright from 87 under one of the comic frames.
The pickup is a Tom Anderson made for him its an H-1.
He had Sammy Sanchez in L.A. remove the Kahler and install an OFR in 86.
Totally rippin guitar plays like a dream and has tone out the wazoo,history and loads of mojo.
