The original knobs were the gold ones and the original pickups had chrome plated plastic covers with the white plastic showing through where the chrome had worn off.
I have an old black and white photo somewhere of me playing it at home in 1974.

It's definitely a Gibson Barney Kessel copy.
"Kasuga was established in 1935 in Nagoya by Miki Bukichi. Kasuga made guitars, banjos, mandolins, violins and ukeleles. Kasuga started their own brand of guitars in the 1960's and in the 1970's made the Heerby and Ganson brands and partnered with Roland on a guitar synth. Kasuga and Tokai made Conrad guitars in the 1970s.
In the 1980's/1990's they made guitars for Yamaha, Burny/Fernandes and the early Navigators.
Kasuga apparently made some Washburn models around 1988 or so with a serial number starting with a K and they might have also made some Jackson and BC Rich guitars.
They also did BC Rich type copies for the Japanese market with a K on the headstock instead of a B.
Kasuga went out of business in the mid 1990's."
