The Guitar Gallery Forums - The Guitar Legacy of Matsumoku

Looks to be in decent shape. Bridge has likely been replaced. I'd try to negotiate shipping if possible. MGR in all their brilliance uses FedEx and shipping prices are arbitrary, not calculated.

I have a trans blue and trans red AV-315. The red is an '81, the blue an '83.

The red one came with that awful barrel saddle bridge which I promptly changed for something that worked (!) and is a surface mount.

The bridge in this ad. looks like my blue one which is a string thru design. There's no picture of the back but I'm guessing this one is also a string thru and is likely original (but cleaner than mine!).

The reason I suspect the bridge has been replaces is the hardware is chrome but the bridge is goldtone.

just an FYI, with MGR if you right click the image and open it in a new tab you can force it to display the full resolution image by removing the "?" and every after of the URL. Their site forces max 800px in either direction.

e.g. ?auto=compress,format&fit=clip&w=800

Thanks, I use that trick a lot (just about everywhere there are guitar pics)

p.s. Actually, what I do mostly is right click on the image and select "open link in new tab" (Firefox). That usually produces a larger image which I can further magnify it by holding down the Ctrl key and scrolling up with the mouse wheel.

Chrome automatically switches between fit to window and full res. Merry Go Round the resizing is done on the server so you HAVE to remove the "?" and everything after it. Most other sites like Reverb nope. Automatic.
