This guitar is presented as BC2-0131E on Nov.1984 catalogue, and as BC2-130WL on Nov.1986 catalogue, both are priced at 130,000JPY, magnificent high-end models.

The only method to distinguish these two models may be a logo on its headstock.  The letter “CHALLENGER” is on BC2-0131E and the letter “CHALLENGER II” is on BC2-130WL.  To tell the truth, I can hardly identify the logo on 1986 catalogue due to low printing resolution.  But the other guitars which are presented side by side with BC2-130WL have “CHALLENGER II” letters.  That’s why I presume BC2-130WL has “CHALLENGER II” logo.

Precious single piece of walnut is used for body and neck.  Its texture is orderly and calm. Generally in good condition considering its age except for rust on the pick guard.  Three BlackLabel pickups were mounted originally, but in this case, the middle pickup seemed to be replaced to MonsterTone of Schecter.

Don’t take walnut Stratocaster for normal Storatocaster, because its sound character is far different.  Sleepy low tone with unclear outline like a temple block.  Brass nut is used for clearing the sound outline and good sustain, but the effect seems to be insufficient.  What would you do if you had this guitar.  You would be annoyed.  4.09kg, includes strings.
