Can you post the pics in a format that does not redirect to an HTM file with advertisements?

Putting aside for the moment the odd looking bridge modification and amp knobs, the serial number dates to the mid/late 80s ('84 - '88) but the three bolt neck was discontinued in 1981.
I believe there were a few leftovers that made it to 1982.

You should pull the neck off and lift out the electronic bits so we can see the pickup/control cavity, the backside of the pots and pups, inside the neck pocket and the back of the neck heel.
It is clearly a Frankenstein and not at all stock but to get a more accurate assessment we would need to see pix of the areas I just mentioned.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
