This is the model that is basically the 'son' of the Rickenbacker 390/Jazz-bo. Roger kept building the same guitar throughout his career, with each new version improving on the prior. From experience I can agree - this has superior playability as compared to the earler Roger brand guitars I own. The last of the variants were the Montego I, Montego II, and the Fender LTD.
This was formerly owned by Randy Bachman of BTO fame. It's also unique/odd as it has a Broadcaster label in it, not a Montego label as expected. Fender originally intended to call these "Broadcasters" but once again the threat of trademark infringement convinced them to rename the model.
