We have seen at least four, possibly five, separate instances of this mystery model.

All have serial numbers that indicate a date of manufacture in March 1985 or in May 1985.

The format of the serial numbers indicate a FujiGen build.

In the guitar shown above, the stock bridge pick-up has been replaced with a Bill Lawrence pick-up.

This mystery model is very similar to the DG-555 but has a relationship to it in much the same way as the DT-155 is related to the DT-555.

If anyone has any information regarding this mystery model, please contact us.

Thank you.
