These were made in the same Fujigen factory as the Soundgears of that era.
They were made from the early to mid 90s, inexpensive, retailed for about $400. Don't know what Carol meant about the bridge. The body wood looked great, but whatever it was, it wasn't a genuine mahogany. They had a cheap preamp and pickups that sounded like the Cowpoke of 94-95, maybe identical, I'm not surprised that Carol changed the pickups. Of course she could make anything sound good.
It tickles me that early 90s is now being called vintage.
