A 350 with Gold guards (you can see the separate upper guard) and TRC, and oven knobs...middle pickup filled, or maybe a counterfeit with Rick parts...it has an "R" tailpiece.

This one has been discussed in many other threads, and we're no closer to finding out what it is.

The pickguards are from a v59 - note the knob placement. If I had to guess, I'd say its a modified '90s 350, possibly a custom order.

IIRC it was a special order for Mike, a full-scale neck/body (ala 350) but with only two pickups.....he plays it a good bit actually. Kinda like a 350V59 with only two pickups.....

Looks like a modded 24 fret 350.

I think your guys are on the right track. Definately a 350, definitely has V59 guards (yucko). Kind of neat I suppose, I think I like it better than the 3 pickup 350.
