Matthew;
This is a Masi Prestige, built in January of 1984, according to the date cod e. The under-bb cable guides support this... the brazed on tunnel guides we re only used for a couple of years, in 1985 they switched to the channels ca st into the BB.
Looks like a good candidate for restoration** ;-) Reminds me of the guitar that Hendrix set on fire at the '68 Miami Pop Festival... Frank Zappa rescue d it, had it rewired, then played it on and off for years. The charred look gave it loads of personality.
