Need some help from the S pros

[dres_x]

Hi guys,
I'm looking to get one of the "golden age" sabers. It seems that this refers to the models made in Japan between 87-93 (please correct me if I'm wrong).

First question, whats the difference between the 540 and the 470? What does the "LTD" mean for the 540 models? Which one should I be looking for?

I found this s470 on **** and I'm wondering if you guys could be helpful enough to tell me if its a legit model from the golden age and what you look for besides the serial number. Is this a good price?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Golden age is pre 02 japanese 540 Sabres. 470s have less liked trems on them. You're looking for the Wizard I neck, edge or lo pro 540 S guitars.


Oh.!! Just checked out the link. Its 390088371626
Yes, go for it. Its a golden age S. Wizard I, lo pro. Its an infamous 92/93 model. The s470s and RG470s had the same specs as the S540s and RG570s in 92/93 and then changed to the worse parts in 94. Its weird!! Go for it!!!!! Its beautiful! Red guitars are awesome.

Thanks for the info!
Does the neck seating look ok? It seems like the fretboard isn't as deeply seated as some of the other golden age ones I've seen.
