Hey Mike, you have a very nice example there. I have owned 2 of these (still have one). Very nice guitars. FYI: The body and neck are made from Japanese Judas Tree. The neck is made from Nato (Mora, also called 'Eastern Mahogany', not to be confused with Nyatoh, and not actually related to Mahogany). And yes, those knobs are original.
Yeah, it's been moved on to my client but it was a joy to have around! I appreciate the further info. Japanese Judas being something im going to look into!
Thanks Mike, i have done a few upgrades to my guitar of late in an effort to boost my interest. i was thinking of making an update video or something. Not too sure yet. :)@@USTTRM
Good morning From the StateS. That's a nice looking guitar. May, I ask? For a Guitar like this one.. What Would be the cost to buy & ship something to the USA?? One day (Maybe Next Year, really would like 1 guitar made in Japan) Thanks for sharing & take care for now. Patrick

@@USTTRM Thank you Family 💪
Unique guitar and Ginger cat approves. But what's under the big back plate ?
You can get to all the electronics with this design. I think Gibson had something similar. Thanks for watching!
I'm wondering the same thing and not sure Mike means in the answer he gave you.
Mike what's that black unit behind you. So curious to what it is. Sorry for being nosey , can't help myself.
