AWESOME Funk & Rock Guitar
I was told by David Williams that this is the Exact Model he used on 'Billie Jean' Funk Guitar Legendary Hook and thereafter on Michael Jackson for several years after 1981
Many others on the Quincy Jones MJ Team also spoke about it years after - that it was a Brand New Ibanez Blazer 'Red' but looked like a Fender Strat back in 1982
