A new problem, Gallan Bass. I do not find the information or images. Knows someone with this guitar, or whether sometimes seen similar.

Hi seppony

I am not familiar with the model of your guitar. However, the finish and construction reminds me of Aria guitars built by Matsumoku of Japan in the early 1980's. For example, compare the neck joint construction of this 1981 Aria Thor model to your instrument.

My best guess is that your guitar was built in Japan by Matsumoku

Thanks for the answer. Similar are, and I also agree that the guitar is Matsumokun or its subcontractor agreement.
