I purchased this item used. I have confirmed that it produces sound. The manufacturer is unknown, but based on the headstock markings: Vintage born in the States. developed in JAPAN it appears to be a model that was commercially available in the 1990s. There is some rust on parts such as the bridge, but there are no noticeable scratches on the body or neck. The neck is also almost straight, as shown in the image. The condition is not bad, but it is a used item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned. I will respond to any questions in the comments. Type...Mustang type Color...Red系 (Red-based)
