The model ASV-100 is relic'd at the factory and is their top of the line in terms of fit and finish. My luthier also did many upgrades: The neck pickup (58's) has a tri-sound switch: single or humbucker or parallel. The 4 knobs (two tone and two volume) were upgraded to one master volume. In addition to the standard tone control (treble bleed) you now have an additional bass tone control, totally passive (G and L type). This is very useful for a humbucker with effects, making it cut thru more cleanly. For better balance while standing the strap button has been combined with the input jack. This model also has a beautiful ebony fretboard.. Fully set up, low action, no buzz, plays like butter (hundred$ in upgrades). Moving abroad, no trades.
