Serial number indicates it is a '95. Officially, it is a MG122 Artist.
I picked it up at a Greensboro-area pawn shop for under $300. It had no case, no bar, a layer of dust and finger funk, and was missing a string. I gave it a couple of hours TLC, and procured a bar. Out of pure blind luck, I scored a NOS OHSC for $50 from local guy who had bought the inventory of an out-of-business music store. The neck is on the smaller end of the spectrum for what was being commonly produced in the mid-'90s, but it feels good. All the hardware is satin chrome. It actually had all the cavity covers.
I did change the bridge pickup from the stock Pearly Gates to a JB and swapped the corroded, wonky superswitch for a traditional 3-way blade. The Pearly Gates was a bit too trebly on this guitar--perhaps an effect of the 25.5" scale, maple top, and vibrato bridge.
Interestingly, the string spacing at the bridge suggests that trembuckers are a bit wide. If you change pups, just go with traditional Gibson spacing at the bridge.
