Comment by the anonymous pick on May 10, 2017 at 9:14am: yeah . a seller sells repoped ones on ebay . i used them in my "tribute" spectrum 5.oh . ;-)

as for the spectrum , they have many reissues since 1990.

Comment by Paul Craig on May 10, 2017 at 6:57am: I'm sure there's a Chinese clone out there by now.

Was thinking of using some of those 3 pole pickups that CBGitty sells to make my own version of one. Don't know if they make any RWRP versions of those pickups or not, but they may be easily changed.

Comment by the anonymous pick on May 9, 2017 at 9:23pm: thanx Paul.yup.fully aware of the single neck models.in fact evh has 2 original ones. A red and a blue one . I actually own an even more rare spectrum 65. Just have never seen a double neck one. Wondering if it was special order for the band. Or a new model amoung all the newer repops coming out.

Comment by Paul Craig on May 9, 2017 at 9:08pm: Nice indeed. EVH used a single neck model in one of their videos.

Comment by Where's Uranus? on March 6, 2017 at 3:40pm: The headstock does look odd?

Comment by the anonymous pick on March 6, 2017 at 2:24pm: yeah .. hummmm.. looks like same guy and its a pawn shop .. it looks like someone took a Schecter Synyster guitar and popped in a mod kit from "awesome guitar " , and added strat guts . to try and mimic a teisco spectrum ..

weird indeed .. cause i havent seen them before it they are a factory model.
