Unidentified 6 string solidbody

[cigvintage]

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and have been reading posts all day. I have a MIJ 60's (?) Burns/Mosrite copy that I simply can't identify regardless of endless research. A luthier friend said it is an Apollo but that bread crumb trail has not panned out.
Any insight on helping identify my guitar is sincerely appreciated. It is a solid body, 4 screw bolt on neck (MIJ neck plate), 4 gold foil PU's, all the electronics work perfectly, also a rosewood fingerboard but striped looking woodgrain neck, and everything else is pretty obvious in the photos.
Like I said, I'm new to the forum so if my photo uploads don't work out the first time, I'll keep trying.
Thank you for you time and insight.

Hi cigvintage.

Your guitar is a Prestige. I have a Prestige Mosrite copy that has features similar to your Burns copy. At this point I'm not sure who made or imported these instruments. I have another Prestige branded guitar that was clearly built by Kawai but I'm not sure about the Mosrite copy or your Burns. My Mosrite is built like a tank and weighs a ton, I don't think it is a Kawai product.

I'll add a picture of my Mosrite later so you can have a look.

Ok, I thoroughly misremembered my Prestige guitar. It is similar you yours cigvintage.

You can see a picture of mine here:



The "moons" were added by a previous owner. You can also see my Kawai built Prestige in the Japanese section of the Guitar Gallery.

Thank you!!! Wow they are very similar, and mine weighs a ton as well. It sounds and plays great. I appreciate the information in helping me ID the battleship!
