Does anyone know anything about Memphis branded guitars from the 70's? I realize that current guitars bearing the Memphis name are cheap third-world planks, But I recently purchased an obviously old and well played Memphis Precision clone and it's really a nice axe. It nails the CBS Fender look, feel and tone so well, it's no wonder the term "lawsuit guitar" is so legendary. Natural finish (alder, I'm guessing), maple neck (made from three pieces laminated together), good hardware and typical 70's features. "Made In Japan" stamped on the neckplate. Memphis peghead logo apparently silkscreened directly onto the wood and sprayed over, featuring a swoopy, stylized "M". My question is...who made this guitar??? Ibanez? Univox?
