Thanks for your informative reply. I'll get in touch with them and see what they have to sayJVsearch said:GET THE LED OUT said:Only a newbie here but love the craftmanship and unique qualities that the Japanese guitars possess.

From the latest Deviser catalogue:
"Stork-Standard/H or S
Body:Maple on African Mahogany (Semi-Hollow)"
"Stork-FM/H
Body:Flame Maple on African Mahogany (Semi-Hollow)"
The "H or S" appears to refer to humbuckers or P90 type pickups, the "FM" has to mean flame maple as this description has a picture of a flamey Stork next to it.
So, it's not really definitive from the catalogue (thanks to my ability to read Japanese!) but I can also tell you that the Standard is 157K Yen and the FM is 189K Yen.
Generally the Japanese catalogues say something if it is relevant, so personally I would expect the Stork models to all have solid tops.

They know pretty much everything there is to know about Deviser guitars.
I love the look of the Stork model, especially the relic one that I missed out on, and I'm determined that a Stork will be my next guitar buy.

How would you describe the neck. Is it on the chunky side, or is it closer to the 60's slim taper? I prefer the 60's coz unfortunately my hands aren't very big. Also, how do the pups sound? (subjective question I know). I'm seriously looking at a Stork FM and possibly upgrading the pups to some Wizz pafs with the cream bobbins.Super Locrian said:Yea, JV is right.. It even says "since 1977" on the headstock. I have a Seventy Seven Stork Cherry. Its one of the coolest guitar I have because LP tend to be too heavy for my taste..but I love LP's feel and design . The Stock has such a nice weight and it sounds great..plus the craftsmanship is bar none...
