I went to buy a guitar and while there, the seller told me to have a look around at what he had since most were for sale. Found this nice and unique neckthru Quest Manhattan MK-3 in black and silver !!!

This baby should be a 1984 model. I`m real happy since these were made for only 1 year and we see the bolt on models once in a while but the neck thru model were almost a myth since no one one had one up until recently. This is the third that I know of.

The action on it is amazing.

Love this guitar.

Cool guitar, congrats.

That's the Quest model that I like. Ricky-like to my eyes, but sort of a modern take.

Loved the model , had the MK-2 models but never came across the MK-3 ( neckthru ) before

Looks like it might be heavy, and too bad it wasn’t designed with a belly cut, but I dig the look of it. How’s the neck shape?

It looks like a Rickenbacker crossed with a less extreme Ibanez Iceman (the carve of the upper bout in particular). That's a really cool find.

D modern shape would best describe it.

The Rick look is what got me interested in them to begin with.

The body makes me think schecter used it as inspiration for the 006 and 007 models. Looks cool!

I remember back when I worked at a music store in the late ’80s, we had a bolt-on version in black with bright red binding.

Great find. My jealousy grows.

My first thoughts exactly.

My first thoughts exactly.

When I saw my first one, thought the exact same thing.

 

[TVvoodoo]

Years ago I fantasized about a ricky bass form factor in a six string. This fulfills that. OMG that is one of the neat-o est guitars ever! Love those inlays too

 

[butterknucket]

Kind of looks like if a Rickenbacker mated with a Music Man.

Congrats!
