Ahhh...it's not an AR300! Looks like an AR100 with added mini-switches.

I think it's an AR100 with toggles added like John said. The biggest givaway, aside from the placement of the switches is the dot inlays. A 300 would have block inlays and a rosewood veneer headstock.

As said before, it is definitely an AR100CS.. IŽd like to add that not all AR300:s have that veneered headstock, Some time ago there was some discussion, whether the headstock veneer is for the figured-top "Catch The Tiger" edition or not.. :-)
Real AR300 has tri-sound switches, not just series-parallel, and the location of switches is in front of all pots... NOT between tone and volume..
