I remember those. They were solely colloquially known as the "roswell rhodes" and everyone thought they were cool as fuck when they came out. Every guitar shop had ONE hung so high up on the wall you could just barely tell what it was.

I remember when it first came out. I thought the crop circle fret markers were the coolest.
