    Just thought I'd throw up a few photos of this guitar and ask if anyone has ever seen another one!
    Its a Suzuki made in japan from around the early '80's. It was bought in Cantwells Music Shop Waterford(gone now) in the eighties and I bought it second hand in a private deal for £68! the reason it was so cheap is it was dropped and the neck was cracked and repaired.

    She sounds lovely needs a set up though little bit of buzz on a couple of frets. Switches are coil taps and out of phase.

    I have a suzuki copy of a Dove from 1969 - 1971 absolute great guitars, the one guitar I have that I would never sell, very little info on them out there, I have seen a good few acoustics but never an electric it looks great. The build quality is second to none

    Wow - a really interesting guitar there - seems to borrow from all over the place. Let us know how it plays with the new setup. I have a feeling that could be a keeper alright.

    It certainly does. But it's got the Suzuki "S" on the headstock! So I was thinking maybe it was made it the same factory? but for Suzuki?
