Hand made guitar built up for me in Hollywood (California) in 1992, thanks to the help of Scott Henderson and his guitar builder. It got Seymour-Duncan Allan Holdsworth pick-up in both neck and bridge, in the middle it got vintage Fender single coil. Besides it got a Wilkinson bridge, Sperzel mechanics and Alembic preamp.
