Part of the famous "E Series" of guitars made by the Fujigen factory in the mid 1980's, this is a rare "unofficial" Richie Blackmore model in Olympic White. This one dates to 1985 and is marked in the neck pocket as an "Order Made" model and is built with a basswood body bolted to a maple neck and a factory "Blackmore" style scalloped rosewood fingerboard, weighs 3.8kg's.
Loaded with the original Fender Japan tuners, along with some aftermarket pickups installed by the previous owner as pictured. It's a well loved and heavily used vintage guitar with sticker tan and fading to the finish but structurally it's solid and it's a great player.
The neck is straight and the truss works as it should, the frets are worn and pitted but were polished and play smoothly, the neck is straight and the truss rod and micro-tilt both work perfectly.
