 RICHELIEU | | ELECTRIC | | The Spectre guitar features a neck-through design and a Honduran mahogany body shaped roughly like a cross between an SG (dual pointy cutaways) and a Strat (rounded lower bout). Spectres feature a Gibson-style three-per-side headstock, chrome hardware, Leo Quan wraparound tailpiece, white pickguard, two humbucker pickups, volume and tone controls, a three-way toggle for pickup selection, and a coil tap mini-switch. Due to production problems with grain-matching the wood, most Spectre models had solid finishes (such as Blue/Gray, White, Purple, and various sparkle finishes) as opposed to a Natural wood finish. Earlier models have a screened Richelieu logo on a black peghead, block print Spectre badge, one large toggle/one mini-toggle switch, Grover tuning pegs, and DiMarzio pickups. Later models have a headstock decal that reads "Richelieu USA," an arrowhead-shaped Spectre truss rod cover, one large toggle/two mini-toggle switches, and Schaller tuners. The top cutaway was also opened up for easier playing access. | |
