Got this NoName MIJ a few months ago and since then I can't resist to look at her every day .She's got something special about her I can't explain...perhaps because she seems so old and still pretty looking...?...
But also it's a strange construction and one I've never seen before :
it's a set neck but strangely reinforced (also often used in the early 60's ) with an unusual neckplate ,rounded at one side,
the pu's are very labor intensive : they all are fixed with nuts & bolts instead of the usual screws (and sealed with reddisch/purple-isch paint) ,
the Cosmos pot has PR-3 on it's back , I have another guitar with the same Cosmos 18 (Tokyo-)pots and that one is dated '68...perhaps the "3" and "18"do indicate the year ???
the white switches have indications "on" on the levers and not on the sides,
...and last but not least the pu's have more sleeves & holes than the Kawai's/Teisco's and other Japanese guitars !
Since there's Cosmos pot's and MIJ on the trem this IS a MIJ , no doubt about that ,...but what brand...?...
