From what I can remember:
McCarty model
57/08 pickups
Pernambuco neck

This was one of the chief differences between the Violin Guitars and the Paul's 28 guitars. The P28's were also completely shielded and grounded in the cavities (pup cavities too).
The US versions had Brazilian Rosewood fretboards. The Violin Guitars made for international sale did not.
All of them had Celtic knots. I've never seen one with a trem.
Hans, do you know whether the pickups were also specifically selected as with the P28s?
Cheers!
Incredible!One other nice touch is the hidden fret tangs on the fingerboard. Seen that on a couple of Private Stocks as well.
The Violin is well up there with the Collection series as far as quality etc. At the time they seemed expensive, but with the cost of a Collection, they were a bit of a bargain really
Mine on a sunny day .....

So Euro maple, pern neck & knots are the main things...were they built by the PS team as well?
I don't have one (I wish), but I did played the prototype once. it had a IRW or BRW neck instead of the Pernambuco (here in Brazil we call it Pau Brasil) neck.
