k-sad Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) For all of them wood was chosen in NYC among the same wood reserve as the customs, then sent to Japan to be cut and assembled then went back to NYC for finitions. At the time only Vinnie and Joey worked at the shop hence the lack of time for "standard" work Earlier ones the better (mine was from 1997 and maybe I should have kept it ahah), with angled headstock and 3 piece neck Those details are reserved for customs nowadays. Good luck with sale!!! Edited February 7, 2021 by k-sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k-sad Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 If this wasn't blue I'd be all over it!!! One day I'll buy back an other one (my oldest one had a graphite neck : very rare and MASSIVE sounding, only sold it becoz i had the opportunity to buy an Emperor 2 with same wood combo, alder / ebony... The Emperor 2 did have more "sound" with the neck through, but basically the difference was not worth 4k more ahah) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
