You're lucky...most pre-5000 serial numbers don't get a "hit" in our computer system, but you got one! 
LG 3005
Figured Maple top
Spanish Cedar body
Cherry Sunburst finish
Bart 3-band preamp
Spalted Purpleheart fingerboard
Black hardware
Graphite nut
Completed and shipped September 2003.
PS: Nice ES-335! I had a similar one for a lotta years (had the trapeeze tailpiece, but same color). Great guitars.

| Can't say with 100% certainty (since I didn't build it), but it is likely a 'board that is totally spalted sapwood. I've had basses in before where the fingerboard was 100% spalted purpleheart sapwood and I'd receive a LOT of inquiries about "the LG with maple fingerboard" even though the specs listed clearly said "spalted purpleheard sapwood 'board". If you don't take a close look, it can be deceiving.  |

It switches your preamp on and off via the ground (when you plug in a 1/4" jack it supplies ground to the pre). |

The Low End, Orange Amps, SIT Strings | | Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Nashville, Tn | | | One more thing; what is the radius of the neck on my bass? I guess that would be how to word it.....
I am doing a little fine tuning and adjusting and I am trying to make sure I have the correct radius gage.
Thanks |

Thanks |  I belive it's a 16" radius. I know that the 3006 is 16". |
