The Japanese company produced these F-style electrics, which date to the
late '80s. They're well constructed,
like many Japanese mandolins from that era. I'm not sure
how many they made, but I've encountered about a half dozen of them so far.
Solid body and quite heavy; plays pretty well; looks nice; and the pickup has plenty
of juice. If you see one, think about grabbing it.
