I bought one about a year ago thru Ishabashi. I thought I had really stumbled onto something. Having owned a bunch of older Burny/Greco/Orvilles, I was curious to see what a brand new one was. It was mostly a disappointment. Had the correct shape headstock, body is a little thinner. some kind of mystery wood with a laminated flame top. Pups and hardware, fair. It was 400something dollars, plus 110.00 shipping. No case. I kept it 3 weeks and ebayed it at a smal loss. It was no better/worse than any other 3-400 dollar LP copy. Be careful. From time to time some of the better known Ebay sellers in Japan will try and dump these things. They always say they are "90's models " when in fact they are brand new. Save your money and buy an 80's model.
