The Guitar Gallery Forums - The Guitar Legacy of Matsumoku

Hey guys, first post here, and I'm a typically needy newbie. I recently bought this beautiful guitar. I'd love any extra information anyone might have.
It was sold to me as a 60's Dia Univox Hiflier copy and I know the pick ups and tuners aren't original but it sounds really great. Dia info is really scarce.

Thanks in advance

here's two more photos

Welcome.
From the specs, I'm gonna guess 1802T.

Thanks so much! It certainly looks the closest to that of anything I've seen anywhere else. Appreciate it.

When you see the plastic badges you can assume that they were not made to spec guitars but rather mass produced and the factory put on what ever badge to order called for. Some were for distributors, some were for music stores and some ven were for schools. It does look like a Matsumoku product though.

ah yeah that makes sense. It's a really cheap little guitar and the frets are hammered to hell but it has a really lovely sound.

Also just bought a beautiful Arai Diamond 335 style hollow body, will post pics as soon as I get it, soooo pretty
