My guitar collection - G&L
This SC-2, with the more common Dual-Fulcrum Vibrato (DFV), is more than a year younger than its hard tail brethren on the previous page. The 2-piece, Mustang-shaped, slab soft maple body has a Black finish, 2 Jumbo MFD pickups, and a black powder-coated control panel hosting the simple wiring harness of volume, tone, and 3-position. The hard-rock maple neck with 7½” radius maple fingerboard with small position markers (compare with this 1982 SC-2), and G&L branded closed tuning machines w/tabs. The body shape changed to more Strat-like in early-1984, as seen on the 2nd style SC-2, but with the introduction of the Broadcaster in May 1985, the SC-2 disappeared from the catalog only to make a triumphant return between 2008 and 2017, reviving the Mustang-shaped, offset body as the SC-2 (reissue) which also was available with DFV.

This is my second SC-2, preceded by my 2nd style SC-2 with hard tail. And like that guitar, this one was also purchased from a fellow Guitars by Leo (GbL) member, Adam Baker, who in turn had bought it in 2009 from Murali Levine, another (old-)GbL member. For the 1st style SC-2, I was specifically looking for a Black one with the DFV. The body is from early-1983 but if the stamp on the heel is to be believed, the neck is from almost a year later and from just before the transition. The guitar is complete with original vibrato arm, mixed springs, and an original hardshell case with blue interior and single divider. Not unexpectedly, given my previous experience with other SC-models, this one turns out to be a rocking machine. Great tapers on the pots (again), wonderful fingerboard (again). You catch my drift. Keeper!
