Don't know much about this one, I own/have owned S470, S540 and RG models but this one is different than those. It presently has an EMG in the bridge, and IBZ USA single coils in the mid and neck position. 3 switches, but not sure if they are factory, small dot inlays in the neck. It hasn't obviously been refinished but I suppose it could have been.

Serial#: A700185 (on neckplate)

No other identifying numbers or text.

Sorry about the small pics, any info is much appreciated, thanks.

Looks like a 540P Power model to me:

1987 model:


1988 model:


Interesting thing about yours is the control layout: it certainly has a tone pot like the 1987 model, but it looks like the 1988 model with an added tone pot considering the way the toggles and the volume pot line out. The EMG and IBZ/USA pickup combination is not stock obviously.
