2022.9: I purchased this guitar in junk condition with the front FGI Technology-S missing.
When I received it, I found that the 6-string fine tuner had been replaced with a different size and almost all of the insert blocks were cracked or deformed.
I put the missing PU on a previous blue-logo FGI that I had on hand, and experimentally mounted the rear PU inverted and assembled.
This way the sustainer works better.
The insert block was made of CP stainless steel, and the fine tuners happened to be available at a parts store, so I used it as a training ground for a complete restoration.
I was satisfied with the fix and am selling it.
