Rick Maughan's
Collection
This is an
excellent collection - not only are there 3 very cool guitars, but they're all
lefty's, making them considerably more rare then their right-handed
counterparts.
First up,
and by far the most unique, is Rick's 1991 X220CL ("C" indicates the
tremolo, "L" indicates it's left-handed). It's finished in pearl
white, with striped decals that make it look very much like one of Craig
Chaquico's X models. In 1991, Carvin only offered a licensed Floyd
Rose tremolo, but there wasn't a left-handed model, so Rick had a Kahler
Steeler factory installed.
Next is
Rick's V220TL, finished in Pearl Blue. This is a neck-thru model,
from either 1988 or 1989. It has a Kahler Pro trem, black chrome
hardware, and MOP block inlays.
Last is
Rick's 2003 model AC275-12, in clear gloss on quilt with abalone block
inlays, body binding and black chrome hardware. Of note, this one
has a 5-piece mahogany/maple neck, as opposed to the standard mahogany
necks found on most AC-series guitars and basses. |
