Product Description
1980, Made In Japan
BO-50 model, “Stone Logo” production period
This is a high end model, with incredible finishing and craftsmanship
Featuring a five piece Maple and Walnut neck through construction
This was a standout out design, that was well in front of other manufactures at this price point in the early 80’s
It delivers an amazing sustain, with a great attack
The Sen Ashwood body is not only beautiful, but a perfect match to model features
The factory fitted DiMarzio L-20D Split single coil pickup is a perfect match to the bass
It is high output, that packs a massive punch, with stacks of headroom
All that classic grit, and low end drive you would expect of a PB tone
Add a little (or a lot) of dirt or drive to the signal and it is wild
It is a “Violin Burst” finish (factory colour code BS – Brown Sunburst)
With matching neck and headstock colour/finish
Rosewood fretboard
20 frets
Standard 34” scale
42mm neck nut width
Contemporary “C” profile
Standard master volume, master tone controls
Nickel hardware
With a high mass 4 saddle adjustable bridge
Four a side open gear headstock tuners
All in all, this is an incredibly well built instrument
It has a tone unlike many others, and a huge collectability factor
A hard to find and rare model to come across
At 45years approx. vintage this is a unique addition to any player
