The HSH pickups are designed by Kent Armstrong, and they sit in a 'Resoncast' body, with a 'gravure' Quilted Brown Sunburst body. So technically, it's a painted simulation of a quilted maple, not an actual quilted maple. This is the same on the neck: it's a solid Maple neck with a painted on birdseye finish. Don't let this put you off. Honestly, until I looked up the spec, I had no idea it wasn't real quilted maple or birdseye, it looks and feels great. The hardware is excellent either Korean or Japanese but it feels and looks very much like Gotoh to me.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eI believe the two switches on the top horn are not factory - they've been added. The top one sounds like a phase flip switch for the bridge pickup, and the lower one brings the neck pickup in on the bottom two switch positions. This allows you to have all 3 pickups engaged at once, with the bridge pickup in or out of phase for more wirey\/hollow tones.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eIt's in decent condition for a 32 year old guitar. Apart from some very small marks, and some patina to the gold hardware. There's minimal fret wear. I've given it a full setup with 10-46 strings and it plays very nicely indeed! A unique and gorgeous guitar that'll really stand out in a world of Strats.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Badlands Guitars Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57532331360629,"sku":null,"price":599.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/6546\/4123\/files\/IMG_3917_ae764095-4d12-4325-859f-3d3a49911100.jpg?v=1787995049","url":"https:\/\/badlandsguitars.co.uk\/products\/talman-tv650-1994-fujigen","provider":"Badlands Guitars Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
