Deviser the parent company to Jayro had another MIK line called Brian, and they had the BNG-450 lookalike model to the one pictured above as well, this was 10 years ago, I saw them in shops but never played one. The -45 part means it retailed for 45,ooo yen, not high end, so if they were having them built in Korea in 1999...my pamphlet with the Brian model pictured is dated to that year...was easy to just change the name on the headstock to Jayro, and those still show up on line here in the used market. Deviser also makes the Headway acoustic line, they also have/had the Riverhead brand, Momose, as I said Bachus and have a Deviser custom shop. I was getting the Bacchus for almost nothing 10 years ago, now they`ve been discovered and prices are gettin` up there on the vintage series particularly.
