Same hardware, models and serialnumbers.

Can't for the life of me work out who built it, though. It's not like any Ibanez/Fuji Gen I've seen: Bolt-neck, plain neckplate. Body construction's block/sandwich (not ply) with a mahogany top & back. Very unusual pickups - they're metal covered & painted black, and screw directly onto the front of the guitar, with no adjustment & very shallow routing. The plain neckplate makes me think Kasuga, also the neck/body join is executed in a very similar way to my Kasuga Rick 4001 copy. Anyone else seen one of these? Jon. Jon.
