(Info
from the 1986 and 1987 German catalogues)
According to the 1987 review
of the Thunder III fretless, the nut is graphite and the backplates are black plastic.
*this may be an error in the
catalogue - there are several others. According to the 1987 review and
the 1983 catalogue this was a phase reverse switch
