Please help. This is Electra 335 type. MIJ. Made by Matsumoku.
I would like to know this guitar's model name and when did this made??


This guitar has the type of pickup with 12 adjustable pole pieces that can be adjusted with a hexagon wrench, and I imagine that this is probably the high-powered "MMK45" that was found in many Matsumoku guitars, such as Burny and Epiphone.

The guitar you see in the images has years of dust and debris, but with professional-level polishing, I'm sure it will come back to great shape.

The 335 type of Electra guitar, known for use by Peter Frampton and others, came to my house today.

It was covered in dust, but as you can see with the abrasive for professional use, it regained its shine when it was new. The flames from the top, back to side are amazing.

Elektra is produced by a musical instrument store in the United States and made by Matsumoku Industry in the Japan, and boasts excellent precision. The pickup is an MMK45 manufactured by Maxon, open double black that is uncovered from the start.
The whole thing looks toned along with the black color of the knob, which is cool.

That's looking spectacular! When you initially posted this I searched the web if I could find out the model and found that everything similar has either block markers, a trapeze tailpiece or the tree-of-life fretboard inlay, so it's not easy to identify. Maybe posting it here could help?

Thank you for your comment.

I also visited the forum that you taught me, but the membership registration did not go well, so I decided to ask for everyone's wisdom on the Tokai Forum.

As you said, the dot position, stop tailpiece electra does not hit for some reason even if you look for it. It is strange.

In any case, thank you for your kindness.
