Schecter F500T

This information is from "The Guitar Man featuring RB's Guitars" published by Shinko Music in Japan. This book contains pictures of guitars equipped with the F500T. Introduced as a comment by John “Dawk” Stillwell, who has been in charge of Ritchie's equipment maintenance since around 1975. The F500T was installed in the 1974 Stratocaster, and seems to have been used from around 1979 (Rainbow "DOWN TO EARTH") to 1985 (Deep Purple "PERFECT STRANGERS"). Also, in the "Source", the F500T was introduced in the 1979 article.
