The Soundgear Club

I went pawn shopping today and found two Made in Japan SRs. They weren't in the best shape but still I was encouraged to find any Japanese built SRs.
Both had the P/J config but I wasn't able to identify any model number. I didn't see a model number on the back of the head. They were painted solid colors so I assume they were at the lower end of the Professional series.
 
Here's my sr506

I mostly play my Squier VM Jazz fretless now, but this was my main axe for a long time. I think it's the mahogany body that imparts a tone with a lot of character. I put the pickguard on it to cover a divot put there by some prior owner. Someday I will try a 505 with the bartolinis, but for now, this thing sounds great.
