Hi all. Any help in ID-ing this beauty would be highly appreciated. I´ve had it for ten years or so, it is handsigned by Semie on the back of the headstock. Everything seems to be original (as far as I can tell) But I can´t find any info on it? What do I have in my hands?
Thanx in advance

Re: ID-help?
Thanx! But as it´s handsigned, Reads "Mosrite Forever, Semie Moseley 1984" Should be earlier 80´s?
Is it common? I´ve seen triple pickup versions of it, but never a two pup?
Also, it has a german carve, the v-88s I´ve seen are just rounded? And they usually have a pickguard?
Like I said, any info helps

Not a V88, and yes, it's from 1984. It is essentially a two-pickup version of the American model. Does it have an AF or NC serial number? It also appears to be finished in the classic Primer Grey.

Re: ID-help?
Thanx! The serial starts with an N. Is it a common model? I´ve only seen triple pickup versions of similar guitars, and not that many.
Is it simply called american?
