Thanks for that. It made me smile ear to ear. The wood binding really attracted me because I really like similar treatment that my Hunt has. Still don't have a Ventures model in my collection though. *wink wink*

I definitely will keep that in mind. It's not going anywhere at the time being, though. I love her dude.

StevieSTL,
Congrats on such a nice collection! I think the yellow one from 1988 was actually what Semie called a "Butterscotch" finish.
ALSO, doublecheck your axle rod on the vibrato system for the V-3. It looks as though it might of worked itself loose on the
bass side, which would be your 4th, 5th and 6th string side.

There aren't a lot of those V3s going around, Are there? And most manufactured guitars don't have wood neck plates, That's a neat touch. And as for the M88, Is it the very same guitar as seen here in this flyer photo?

(Where's a color version of this photo? I've seen one before.)
Well, If it is it doesn't have the same tailpiece as it did in the photo.
