Made by the Fujigen factory in early 1983, this AR100 wears a very rare "Fire Red" finish that was only available between '82 and '84. Arched maple top with a mahogany body set to a three-piece maple neck with a 22 fret rosewood fingerboard (628mm scale length, 44mm nut width), it weighs a beefy 4.6kg's.
Loaded with the original Super 58 humbucker in the neck and a Dimarzio Super Distortion in the bridge controlled by independent volume controls and a kill switch mini toggle along with the original Quik Change tailpiece, Gibraltar bridge and Velve Tune machine heads.
Well loved cosmetic condition with plenty of bumps and bruises as pictured. The previous owner scalloped the fingerboard and it's missing tone pots and one of the backplates. Given a basic setup and service, the frets show some wear but play well and the neck is straight with a functional truss rod.
