I thought that would pique your interest - to me it looks like a butchered VA900 but who knows...

Actually, 22 frets, no control light ... it seems a VP-820 or a VP-795 with a Line-6 Pod behind it to me. Could even be a VS (696). He did replace the PU's though :)
No match for the Skylark 2588 :no:

The hardware is Silver, thats a VP-795....
A VP-820 would have gold hardware with brass knobs...
the Pickups have been changed is all...
no arch top, no 696...

Cheer up little buddy, it won't be much longer before you are in the land of the Matts. There will be that many around that you won't know which/what to grab first. That's when things will get interesting for you. :wink:
