Any help will be very appreciated.
Also..the guys, remotely told me that it was "Walnut SATIN "..and i have a big doubt if it is an ALL walnut body, with satin finish? or another wood(mahogany?) with a walnut Top and back, and a satin Finish.?!!?

This says it's mahogany, but it isn't the exact same series i don't think. Do you know what series of avenger she is? Pretty seXXXy guitar btw! Ripe for some 'pigs :twisted:

It looks like it could be a Walnut satin venear on top with a different wood underneath, maybe mahogany.

It looks like the original Diamond Series Avenger to me, is it a bolt-on neck? If so I seem to recall that the body wood is basswood, and that looks about right judging from the colour inside the pickup route. "Walnut Satin" will be the name of the finish; I don't think it actually had a veneered top.

Congratulations on scoring a cool guitar, btw. I always thought the Avenger was one of the best-looking "extreme shaped" guitars, right back from when J (White Zombie) played a holoflake Avenger. :)
