Yeah, it looks like you are a step ahead of me on this ID Frank. My initial ID was based on a catalog image that didn't show neck construction. I'm sure you have seen it but here it is for visitors:
The neck construction is more clearly shown here which is probably your hotlink violation:
I agree with concrete_charlie that what you have is a Matsumoku product. I thought it was Aria since Matsumoku is closely associated with this brand. It is clearly a more traditional bolt on neck Matsumoku product and I don't really know who may have distributed it, but I think the mid 1970's is a reasonable time frame for production.
