St. Blues - Strings and Things Bluesmaster III 1980's - Black

St. Blues Bluesmaster III (Strings and Things) in Excellent condition. The neck is straight and the action is low. Frets are in good shape. Electronics function perfectly and pickups sound fantastic. Tuners have been changed out for Schaller and whammy bar is not original. Chris Lovell from Strings and Things went through this. Apparently this is an early transition guitar from the Strings and Things label to St. Blues label and very few of these exist. Serial # 05515. Comes with non-original hardshell case.

Here's some additional info i found online:

Tom Keckler, a guitar technician at Strings & Things in Memphis, who had been one of Schecter's early builders, began building original guitars based on his modified Telecaster nicknamed 'Tele Paul'. Originally from Memphis, in 1978, Keckler joined Tom Anderson and David Schecter out in California to turn Schecter Guitar Research from a parts supplier to a guitar company. In 1983 he came home to continue his guitar work, and joined the guys at Strings and Things to form Saint Blues Guitar Workshop in 1984. Using the body shape that Tom and Charlie Lawing from Strings and Things had created some years before, the first St. Blues model was created and not surprisingly named the "Bluesmaster". Sometimes you hit it just right. This unique guitar stands up to any classic design, and people who know a great guitar were quick to notice. Soon you would find a Bluesmaster in the hands of Eric Clapton, Bono, Albert King, Elliot Easton, Marshall Crenshaw, Glen Frey, Billy Gibbons etc. etc.
