the effort is noble, and potentially impossible. I once decided to save pics of all the brand names I came across on line but there were just so many that I gave up, literally dozens and dozens of them. As an owner on many older MIJ guitars, both acoustic and electric, I have come to the conclusion that I will probably always have more questions than answers, even with access to books on the subject written by Japanese authors who seem unable to get a handle on all the brand names over the years. This may turn into a hobby for you, a never ending hobby. Now, I just play and enjoy my guitars instead of trying to figure out everything about em...much more relaxing. Just watch Yahoo Japan and I but you`ll see another brand you didn`t know about every day. Some of my favorites were My...Yours...don`t you wish they`d make up their mind?...and an all time great ... the POS brand...and I`m not kidding.
Good luck.
