I really appreciate your time and explanation, I see that actually the x150 and my Double Eagle, have the body cut from the same cloth, just overlay the images and are practically twins. I understand that as you say this made Matsumoku.
I'll look more deeply the links you've written me.
Thanks for the help and for this web so interesting and great work.
be lucky

Your guitar reminds me of an Electra model X150 built by Matsumoku in the early 1980's. My guess is the guitar was a special order placed by a guitar distributor (Double Eagle) and built at the Matsumoku factory. I think Matsumoku was the largest exporter of Japanese guitars during this period so odds are they built the instrument.
I can't tell from the pictures what wood was used in construction, but ash and poplar stained dark is typical for these instruments.
Here is a link if you want to compare your guitar to the Electra X150:
If your guitar is a Matsumoku product, it is possible the the fellas over at the Guitar Gallery might be able to tell you more about your instrument. They specialize in Matsumoku built guitars.
Good luck with your search

I have questions about this manufacturer Double Eagle (Japan) and this guitar anyone has or knows? I can not find information on the network, the guitar is a great instrument inherited a family, purchased in the late 70s, early 80s. It has very good finishes, woods seem quality and powerful sound.
Someone who knows or has information materials it's made?
Thank You
