Another visitor from Japan on it's way

[Ratae Corieltauvorum]

There are still quite a few sellers in Japans, selling unusual guitars at bargain prices.

 

This seller's quitars are usually in need of some attention, albeit small things, but this one may have a few complications, but nothing cyanoacrylate won't fix.

 

Notice the selector switch down on the treble horn.

 

I thought this was an oddity, but there are some 335s with selectors down there for some obscure reason. Also the board on this looks very striking.

 

It's full hollow, and it'll get a new set of electronics and most likely some new pickups.

 

It's a Guyatone and they were selling at around the tome Ibanez were receiving cease and desists, so the headstock is not a perfect Gibson copy, but still nice enough.

 

I profess I'm looking forward to this one.

 

I haven't had a guitar from Japan for a good 9-10 months

 

Here's the sellers pictures, I'll put mine up in early July when it arrives

Alas Rat, the pics didn't show. Look forward to seeing it though.

Its mid 70s, I've only just found out it's probably an SG-28 model

That's cheesey cool Rat! Love those bolt on 335 copies.

[Ratae Corieltauvorum]

Not bolt on, set neck

oops, my bad! the ones I saw on Google were boltys. Not that there is anything wrong with that mind you.
