PRO540R
Radius Series

SN: F703475 YEAR: 1987 OWNER: Michael Rodgers

Details & History

This is a 1987 ROADSTAR PRO540R. Serial number F703475. A "redburst" finish that is almost impossible to photograph, basswood body, 2 piece maple neck, 22 fret rosewood fretboard,  Floyd Rose, 2 IBZUSA stacked humbuckers and a IBZUSA humbucker in the bridge. (All made by DiMarzio.) The switches are two on/off for the neck and mid, and a custom on/off/on for the bridge for hum/off/single coil. The Duosound push/push switch has been removed and replaced with a 25K tone pot. A .001 capacitor was added to the volume pot for a bit of brightness boost when you lower the volume.
 
This is without a doubt, the finest guitar I have ever owned! True, "Shadow" is not as pristine as the other Pro540R shown here, but she's had a life outside of a collection, and she's mine.
