NoName Korean Flying V

[VintAxe]

Just wondering if anyone can help me determine who may have manufactured this Flying V. The only mark I have found on it is the "Made in Korea" sticker that you can see on the back of the headstock. The neck plate is blank.

It's hard to tell from the photos, but the guitar has a heavy, epoxy-like metal flake finish.

Does anyone have suggestions for who may have produced this guitar and when? thanks, sb

I'm not sure what model, but that's probably a Cort.
I'm basing my judgment off of this picture...



The guitar pictured and yours seem to be quite similar.

It's a longshot, but I'd say it's a Samick, rather than a Cort.

The truss rod cover on this V is the same shape as those which appear on Hondo-branded guitars, which were Samicks:

Cort copies often used similar shaped covers to late 70s Matsumoku copies & originals, like this style:



Are there any other stickers on the back? Sometimes Samicks have circular inspection stickers, and silver foil ones bearing a model number.

Hey that's my Cort! Not the one in question, the yellow one. Wow, just breezin through he posts and see that. Cool

Both Cort and Samick made a lot of guitars for other companies so it's hard to tell.

Yeah I didn't even look at the truss rod cover.
Good catch.

Thanks for the input guys. I think Cort and Samick are both prime suspects given the time period I think this fella was produced.

And Jon, no other stickers other than the "Made in Korea".
