Looks like an ST III but never saw a USA one with a 5 piece neck.
Take the cavity cover off and take a pic.Also take the neck off and see if there is any info on the neck heel and neck pocket of the body.
My guess its a newer import because no flat angled neck plate and the truss rod cover that says "series."
ST III's had a reg headstock not reversed.The gunslingers had the reverse headstocks.

i found this, nothing else special, its NJ so, Nayoka Japan, no ?

 

[deem99]

I found out that in japan, inspectors set their stamps on the guitar.

NJ series from Nagoya japan

 

[deem99]

Yeah, but its still different, whats worth it ?

Most NJ's will say so on the headstock.
All the parts look correct for a NJ made guitar and its a cool one no doubt.
Value? well when you can pick up a used USA ST III for $200.00 or less maybe $150.00

Thx for the help, still i think its strange that there is none that looks like mine, not even, close (colour, my guitars body is more rounded, and the reverse 5piece headstock)
i guess its one of a kind then,

 

[brokentoeswalker]

similar ??

 

[deem99]

Yes, but my fretboard is not the same, still i dont think its a regular STIII or gunslinger..
cause there are no reverse headstock STIII's..

 

[deem99]

Plus, my tuners are black, with the "R" logo on it

 

[brokentoeswalker]

Its a catalog so its kinda hard to tell but i'm sure there was probably a rosewood fretboard option, same 3 toggle switchs, same volume and tone knobs, same pickups, it looks like you have a gunslinger to me but i'm no expert. Different years different little changes.

 

[deem99]

the gunslingers "horns" are way more edgier, mine are wider and rounder

 

[deem99]

But you are right, over the years, alot of things change.
