1986 Fender Japan AS-1 Vintage Acoustic Guitar (Natural)

1986 Fender Japan AS-1 Vintage Acoustic Guitar (Natural)Japanese made in 1986, this is one of the incredibly rare acoustic guitars released by Fender. The AS 1 has some very high end specs for the time, featuring a solid Spruce top with a solid flamed maple back and sides to give it the perfect combination of a huge sound and gorgeous look. The cutaway design gives you access to all 22 frets on the ebony fingerboard (with block inlays) and the smooth slim 60's profile on the three piece maple neck plays

The Peavey Raptor series sets an unparalleled standard in quality and innovation

Seems all original with a factory 5-way switch (compared to the 3-way on later ST54 models)

Designed to appeal to both New Wave and Metal fans

making it a perfect period-correct 80's board

The saddle has some room left for adjustment and the neck angle is good with no need for a reset

The RG170 features an agathis body bolted to a maple neck with a 24-fret maple fingerboard with black dot position markers

otherwise appears to be all original

Highly modified by the previous owner to be the exact guitar they had in their mind

There's also a small separation at the neck joint near the binding as pictured that's purely cosmetic with no impact on stability

10" radius

Loaded with a genuine Floyd Rose locking tremolo and a pair of aftermarket humbuckers (a Jack Jones in the neck and a PJ Marx 110 in the bridge)

the SR-400 was a modern compact bass with a contoured alder body
