Which model is the white one? the white one was a bb3000. it's been rerouted for bb2000 pickups and the inlays redone to look like a bb2000. it basically is a bb2000 now but the controls are in a slightly different location and the cutaways are different. 1 Quote

So...that does beg the question after @Misdeehas just reminded us how amazing the BB 3000 was, as to why you wanted it redone as a BB 2000? Edited November 30, 2018 by Al Krow Quote

And thank goodness they do otherwise folk who want to spend identical amounts on their gear would end up with identical rigs, right? And what a dull planet we would be living on... 😄 Quote

Judging by the horns I'd say it was Taiwanese... the Japanese had shorter horns a bit like the 1200S Quote
