Such is the lack of solid information & records, that we will never know the full history. But that's half the fun!

Matsomoku made some great guitars, some of which became Ibanez (Ibanez is a brand name, not a manufacturer). I would say your guitar was made at the same time as some very valuable Ibanez guitars, but that's just a shot in the dark. It sure looks good, though.
By the way, if you start researching Japanese-made guitars and the factories that made them, you will soon be very confused. I have seen authorities assert unequivocally that Matumoku never made an Ibanez guitar, and I've seen the opposite just as forcefully stated by just as reputable an authority.
