      Very cool. I've never seen one like that.
      I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

        So did you get it?
        I had a shot at that one for $620 but didn't go for it due to the missing tip on headstock.
        Would have made a great refin candidate except it has a cool graphic which sort of defeats the point.

            Is that a Soloist ? That's a smoking deal and fixing the rear tip on a painted Soloist headstock is simple. Just get some maple wood filler, shape the tip, let it dry, wetsand it down and then paint(I use fingernail polish), wetsand smooth and polish. I recently got in a Dean Razorback V with the V-tip broken off(THANKS UPS), filed a claim, got $100 back and fixed it myself. You couldn't even tell it was repaired. Fingernail polish works really well for wetsanding and buffing in.

              Congrats, you got a killer guitar. I was resisting so hard. The early U serial guitars are some of the finest.
              I am guessing that one has the je1200 and not 2 tone knobs as listed.

                Excellent description.
                Yes, very cool.
                What year?
                96xxxxx, 97xxxxx and 98xxxxx serials oftentimes don't indicate '96, '97 and '98.

                  Very cool. 89' or so I'd guess. I've seen some earlier ones with JT6's.

                      Ok, thanks. I see that you're familiar with it so I'll assume you know.
                      Those are impressive prices.

                              A J serial number means it's a full custom guitar. U serials were the first of the standardised USA guitar lines where there were finish options available but guitars were no longer made as a single order each time.
