The Guitar Gallery Forums - The Guitar Legacy of Matsumoku

Ok Ive seen 6 and 7 digit serial numbers but 3 digit Ive only seen one other of these and it also has a 3 digit serial ,different number of course

That may be a model number.

I'm no too sure about that . The one i have is #261 , the one pulled from the web is #212 , both are the exact same model . Personally , I've never owned an SG , I've never been into them , just something different for my collection. After some minor set up she rips pretty much like an other Mat I own . Besides the neck plate , the bridge and heel are both stamped "Made in Japan" . No other markings . She will get a re finish this summer with some of the other crew . I can't see an SG being run in limited numbers I thought SG's have always been popular but a varying 3 digit number I've never seen.

Hmm the mystery continues. That said, I have never seen a Matt (or any other guitar) with that kind of neck plate.

Well then , that calls for some stripping , will post more pics soon

Who is stripping?... what's her name....Pictures...pictures..

Ok for Frenchy's sake her name is Sssheila Gggabor , pics or it didn't happen

This pick up was in the bridge position when I got it . it is not original

The bridge is stamped L.S. BRIDGE and in smaller letters under that Made in Japan

The heel reads Made in Japan LP-S


The black wire and the white wire with black tape is the bridge pick up . That is exactly how the cream p/u was wired in. The rest looks original . Will do it proper after restore .


The sticker on the back of the neck pick up reads M214

So like I said at the start of all this Yes it sets up , plays , sounds like a Mat , sounds similar to my other Granada's , but a 3 digit number ? It doesn't seem that special , Am I missing something here ??
