Well, I went shopping for a small tube amp this weekend and the seller pulled this baby out!...

I just could not refuse!

Notice that it's a blanc neckplate!!!!

Only what is left of the once ( Made in Japan ) sticker on the back of the headstock indicates were it comes from....

No wonder some are hard to pinpoint the origins!

In this case, the headstock logo leaves no doubt about the origin. Lovely score, I'd love to try that one out some time :)

Thank's K!

I have to say, this baby is of a better build compared to my Ibanez of the same era! Was quite surprised... Plus the pup's sound better also :yeah:

And when you have the Kasuga name on the headstock it's obvious as to the origin but if you had no name on the heastock, nothing on the neck plate!....
