AIRCRAFT/AC-3
owner: Shin
2022.6: I purchased this guitar from a music store mail order after a long time.
When I received it, I found that the bridge had been disassembled, cleaned, and cleaned, but it was assembled incorrectly.
When I reassembled it, four insert blocks were broken and they later sent me a new one as a warranty.
The bridge was not centered on the neck, so I had the workshop correct the stud position and shave off the part of the recess that interfered with the bridge.
The studs were changed from wood screw studs to anchor type.
The frets are jumbo size and seem to be almost unshaved.
The top maple is not book-matched, but it is a center 2-piece, and it is a fine arch top machined.
This is the third AC-3, but the controls and PU layout are different from each other, so I feel it is a one-off.

I've never seen an Aircraft that had inlays like that, the body kind of looks like a PRS
This guitar is an original model based on the guitar of Sun-go Miki Igarashi, the guitarist of SHOW-YA, a Japanese female rock band.
All of them are made to order or produced only as prototypes, and except for the shape of the body, they all seem to be one-of-a-kind.
Interesting, this is the first I've ever seen of that model.
