Duff: There were a couple of issues of the M-III. One had kind of a strat body style and had a trem and 3 single coils with a "pointy" head stock
The Studio Lite M III was one of the first chambered LPs and came with two HBs and a Single. There was another M III Called the Stealth. It has made of Korina wood and had the Strat style body, pointed headstock and dual HBs with a single. Circa 1991 and 1992. Fairly rare.
I have looked at the road worn series and they looked as if they were painted, sanded then coated with a satin finish. Vintage guitars makes some of the nicest relic guitars I have ever seen for really low $.
The Blues is alright!
