PE-600, PW-45...

The 1512 Has Mike Pinera's (Alice Cooper,Iron Butterfly, Blues Image) name on the headstock.
I've tried to contact him to confirm ownership. But I get no reply. Not likely someone spent
this kind of money on a guitar, then put their fav players name on it.. I'm thinkin it's legit. Just my opinion

Sweet!!!!! I really like the PE-1000GC. But it's safe to assume I am particularly fond of the PEs.

I am rather partial to the PE line myself. My first Aria Pro was a PE-BG, purchased brand new with case in 1984. Still got it.
And I'm actually about to play it.

Funny thing about that 1000GC. Guitar center had it for sale online. Mint, in original case.
Here's the actual ad...

LS-600D. They shot themselves in the foot on that one. Lucky for you.

I still have the original PE-R80 I bought in 84. The frets are worn almost to the fretboard I played it so much but it is no longer in service.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that was made for Mike Pinera. He did endorse AP2 back in the 80's. Remember the ad with him playing a PE-R80? It was one of the reasons I wanted one to go with my RS600.
I eventually bought an R80 in the 90's but traded it. I found an R60 a few years ago and I love it! I don't remember my R80 sounding as good. I don't know what pickups were in the R80 but I LOVE MMK53s as my R60 has.
