I've owned a couple, pre 95 with the alder body and one of the newer ones with mahogany. Honestly, there isn't very much special about the early 90s version in my opinion except for the smaller neck heel but on a 24 that's not a huge difference vs. the 22. The hog bodied versions sound better to me esp. if you playing with moderate to high gain. The newer ones can also usually be had for less on the used market.
