Welcome James.
If you can post some pictures for us to see, we might help you with some of the info.  
And of course, we all love eye-candy here!

Hi James,  
 
Here's what I found in this instrument's file:
 
top: Coco Bolo
accent: Maple and Walnut pinstripes
body: Maple
body shape: Series II Europa (see note below)
neck: 5-piece Maple and Purpleheart
scale: 34 long  
fingerboard: very black Ebony
inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals
LEDs: front and side in red
pickups: SC-1 and HX
controls: Series I volume x2, filter x2, 3-position Q-switch x2, 4-position pickup selector switch, 5-pin stereo and 1/4 mono outputs
hardware: black nickel
originally made for: Massimino Music
birthday: February 12, 1993
 
Note on body shape:
This is a work order that I wrote up. It's funny to revisit these old documents and discover little tidbits. I specified the body as Jason's Europa so I'm going to think that we first made the Europa body with Series electronics for Jason Newsted and called it Jason's Europa around the shop for a while.
