Head
Usual bizarre MIJ headstock. Tuning machines: Matsumoku, quite good.
Neck
all black, substantial. Bolt-On. Nut made of Graphite. The fingerboard is made of Rosewood (Rio). The fingerboard is inlaid. (red dots).Neck radius is 9.5" (241mm).
Body
matte black. This model has a pickguard. (matte black, red piping.).
Electronics
old style large pots. Configuration: SSS. Volume controls: 1. Tone controls: 1. There is a pick-up selector. The pick-up selector has 3 positions.
Hardware
quite good bridge, large block trem. This guitar has a one-piece bridge/stop. This model has a tremolo.
Notes
3 way selector detents, but can do 2 and 4 in the old way. Nice guitar, beautiful fretboard material, may even be ebony, but doubt it as these were Uncle Mat's 'no frills'. Certainly sounds like a strat. Suspect wood is basswood. Quite a striking looking thing, all matte black and the red piping, dots, headstock decal and knob writing.
