(SOLD) Session Stage Series ST Style Pewter Grey c1995
Session Stage Series, grey, made in Korea around 1995. The Session brand was the project of major Australian importer Electric Factory, the first runs being made in Japan before moving production to Korea in due course. This one seems to be a later example from Korea. It's pretty nicely put together, with decent frets and finish work and sturdy hardware. The pickups are pretty good too, there's a crisp snappy tone with plenty of natural roundness and punch. If you're after a handy little beginner guitar or a fun modding platform, there's plenty of fun to be had here. And yep, sorry about the paint splatter!
