In 1985 Gene appears with a white Pedulla. Perhaps the band felt that the black Pedulla would clash with the Asylum stage outfits' general "Vegas showgirl on drugs" look. It's a complete copy-paste of the black version with the exception that this one looks to be fitted with EMG's from day one. Notice the wear marks in the last pic
