Neal “Schon” guitar by Larrivee
One of my “vintage” guitars. Bought in 1988 @Musik Produktiv Nuremberg, after listening to Neal´s solo cd “Late Nite” to promote his guitar line, I had to buy one. And really all the guitar tones on that superb cd can easily be achieved with that axe. A very versatile guitar: from Les Paul/ Strat tone to Tele twang.

#107 of 500 (Stamped in the last fret)
These were produced between 1987 and 1991

22 Fret (Frets are in Very Good Condition and smooth/no sharp edges)

“Schon” Pickups by PJ Marx (PJ Marx was an Engineer and President of Laney Amps, in the 80’s he designed some pickups that were endorsed by several musicians)
5-way Switch
1-Tone 1- Volume Knob /push pull in Tone knob
Original Floyd Rose Licensed Tremolo with Non-original Tremolo Bar/ Now it´s got a Schaller one.
Overall mint condition for it’s age, it is signed by Neal Schon, while I met him in Augsburg on 6/ 26 2011.
Heavily used on many “Klopstock” and some “Wired” gigs. Great axe and easy to play with a special unique sound.
