1975 Guild M-80-C-CUAL on ebay: what's a CUAL?

[Sats]

Hey, an M80... but what's up with the CUAL designation? Five knobs, two toggles (plus the pickup selector). Has anybody ever seen this configuration?

$889 BIN by the way...

The seller misread the label. He intrepreted the cursive "w" as a "cu". It is "Wal" for walnut finish.

Agree. Handwriting in the label photo even looks familiar...

Hmm, 2 switches. I wonder if it was modified for coil tap.

Looks to me like it might have been. Knobs aren't original either, and I'm wondering if those aren't replacement pickups. My '77 M-80CS (lower photo) doesn't have the extra toggle switch.
