AIRCRAFT - AC5 (probably ordered in the 90's)

2018.3.19: I was given this guitar in a direct transaction.
It is quite close to my ideal with a maple fretboard, a body with visible grain, switcheroo style and Schaller FRT-2 specs.
I wanted it without the bridge recess processing, but there weren't enough of them out there to choose from...
I contacted Moridaira and they said that they did the recessing if it was wholesale to the store or if it was specified in the order.
2018.6.16: I had the fret rubbing with Plek and the rear PU replaced with Dimazio FRED at TUNE Guitar Maniac in Hyogo, Japan.
I'm very happy with the sound and the frets rubbed together without going too low!
The first picture is now and the second picture is when I got it.

| sound features | I had the impression that the Tom Anne PU had a better distortion sound than the Schecter PU of similar shape, but I thought it was not a good match with the EMG-SA. |
