At least in the reissues (I know this is an original, but...), a 1997 could be had with 3 pickups.

From what I understand, as I was told by the seller, the guitar is a 1998 and was made for Marty Willson Piper of the Church. Don't know how the seller came by it but....

I defer to Stan.

Yes, I think it's one of Marty's guitars. It's been for sale off and on for a while....

My .02: I would have to call it a 370V64SPC with vibrato. The only thing it really has in common with a Rose-Morris reissue is the f-hole.

The guitar is basically a 360V64 with and f-hole, 3rd pickup and an accent, obviously special ordered.

Looks like an extra long Floyd Rose bar sticking off of that accent tailpiece.
