I'm hoping someone here can read some Japanese.
I would like to know if the 2 characters next to 'V-318 FT' are indeed Japanese, or maybe Korean?

I know some japanese, and honestly, I don't know. But that's mostly because they're so hard to read in that state.

The second one definitely doesn't seem japanese. The first one could be.
Do you have a supersized image I could take a look at?

Not really
It's really sloppy writing

But, they don't look japanese to me, and it actually doesn't look like korean either. But my knowledge of korean writing is minimal, so I could be wrong.
I'm gonna stick with them not being japanese, partly due to the way they look, but also they way they're written. Ballpoint pen pushed into the wood like that doesn't seem like the japanese way of doing things at all.

It's Korean. I could tell it was Korean but couldn't read that sloppy writing. My wife took one look and said it's something like "how much for each". It'd be pronounced "won shik". I have no idea why that would be written there, though! "Won" is Korean money...

What guitar is it anyway?

It's a Vantage Avenger'ish model. Look here: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6751&start=0
Thanks for identifying the characters!
