That's great. I always get temped by the old 200's and 150's, especially the koa ones like this 200:
and even this oddball mono, neck thru, 1V/1T no phase switch 150 from the last year it was offered (91?) is interesting to me because of the bridge and obviously the wood:
But even though I think the price is fair (just shy of 1K) considering what you're actually getting and the amazing condition it's in, I couldn't pull the trigger.. and anyway I'm getting my dream koa hardtail 150K by putting the new bridge on my axe this week.
But how does your 200 sound to you, being all maple? Do you notice the 1) increase in sustain, and 2) increased brightness owing to the all maple build?
PS: could you go to where you have the link for the second pic and hit enter so the beginning of the link is on a new line and they stack vertically instead of horizontally?
