As the "R" characterizing the PE series, the same applies for the SB.
This is a high quality instrument and very versatile thanks to its double control knobs and dual sound switches.
Ash body and 5 pieces laminated neck through construction, this model also has:
- Dual MB soapbars
- Dual volume and tone control
- Dual coil tap switches
- 3 position pickup selector
The similar SB-ELite will be produced the years after this (small) production of the SB-R80, which remains the "original" model with
such characteristics, an instrument of unrivaled beauty and flexibility.
