Considering yesterday was few pics and no text for $25K, this seller at least documents all the scars for ~$500

Matsumoku? Korea? Japan? Neck through Guitar DC Double Cut 1979 - Natur Arirang Samick Hondo Winner Aria?

[translated from German]

I added more photos!!!!


In terms of the bridge, the position of the strap pin and the optics, it is comparable to this one

https://reverb.com/de/item/26115164...ic-guitar-matsumoku-japan-winner-aria-vantage

So it could be anything from Arirang to Matsumoku...unfortunately no label is recognizable

Attic find from estate, lay well wrapped in a blanket in a suitcase in a dry attic for years


70s neck through guitar


One mechanical wing is missing [tuners are 6 corner like Gotoh with plastic housing]

Neck straight

Good condition

Electronics are the original 500 pots

Humbucker, bridge and tailpiece are unlabeled

Few dings and dongs for its age, nothing burst, no tears in the neck pocket etc...

Untouched, nothing modified or renewed, no additional drilling or anything like that

Looks wonderful and swings as you would expect from the old wood and the continuous construction

To be worked on by you or we will do it over time.

It is currently being offered in as-found condition, but of course cleaned, checked, etc.


See pics!

Would you like more pictures or information? No problem! Just ask!

kinda looks like an Aria knock off.
also, the bridge is mounted kinda goofy (bass side pushed back)
 
Even with all that travel on the saddles he still felt he needed to offset the bridge for better intonation?
 
Better looking headstock and half the price, and I’m in for a hippie sandwich.
It might be a Matsumoku, out the back, knock off though, but why?
