Need help IDing this guitar, could it be a matsumoku, aria or aria pro II guitar? At first I thought it was a Jay Turser, but they don't bolt on the necks that way. That type of bolt-on neck is typically japanese.

Hi J,
don't know of any Matsumoku made guitar with the neck bolted on like that (without a neckplate). The bridge and PU's seem alien to me, too. Think I can safely say your Rick325-look-alike wasn't made by Matsumoku. I even doubt it's from Japan. Early Korean, maybe ...

Not likely a Mats, but looks to be well made nonetheless. It's unusual to not have anything on the TRC, was the logo removed maybe? Possibly it was originally a "white label" product of some sort. :dunno:
