Seeking more info on Washburn B5 (Mid 80s MIJ)

Can anyone enlighten me on details about this Washburn B5?
All I can find online is that:
It's active
It's made in Japan
It's from 1984/5

How do they play?
What kind of wood?
Are they considered good examples of Japanese guitar making techniques?
What are the active components like?
Personally I hate the headstock but everything else appeals to me.
