Looks like MC300, but it is not. Any Info? |

Sure looks like a Matsumoku (Aria Pro, Skylark, Vantage,Washburn, Wetstone, Epiphone, etc,) of some sort, headstock looks like Vantage.. |

Arieblues: It does have a lot of Matsumoku features. You can try this site for more info on Matsumoku guitars: www.rathole.org I took a quick look around the Vantages and didn't see anything identical to it. But it won't hurt to ask. |

The curled horns hint at Westone (and some Electras). For some reason the HS shape reminds me more of an Arbor or early Japanese Cort than Vantage as the Vantage HS is much narrower and rather straight along the tuner sides, much like the latter Aria Pro II headstocks. The tialpiece does look a lot like those found on the Electra Outlaw series if original. It could also have been made by Fujigen Gakki as their construction, design, and quality levels were very close to those of Matsumoku and at times barely distiguishable (Why else would Hoshino have contracted Fujigen Gakki ;-D ). The link mentioned above would work a lot better as http://www.therathole.org/guitars/guitars.html |

AriaProii: Thanks for the expert opinion, and sorry about the misquote of the URL. BTW, the first time I tried to find it, I got to the Rat Fink guy's site. A blast from the past. |
