That guitar of him looks awesome, if he dont use it and you feel you're serious about music talk to him about it. The financial value of it is nearly non-existent so a deal might be possible and benefit the two of you.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/42-year-old-guitar-what-is-it/#post-319496 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/42-year-old-guitar-what-is-it/#post-319444 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 17:39:36 +0000

Antoria was just a name back then for guitars imported from various Japanese factory produced guitars , most arrived without brand name on the headstock and the music shop workers usually put the decals on afterwards.
Some later Antorias were made in the famous Matsumoko factory but these models were not as far as I remember.

Jap Antorias and Arias were very high quality later and anything Matsumoko now is getting pretty rare and gaining a bit of value certainly in the UK , it would be nice if there were a serial number that could be checked .

That actual model was branded as a starmaker as far as I can remember but that was in the UK , the name starmaker was reintroduced again later on a cheap strat copy again a "catalouge range guitar".

It makes sence with the blank headstock as they were left this way upon leaving the factory and brand put on at destination , whick was usualy a screw on fake trusss cover with emblem or a transfer , or of course many were just left blank as they were a cheapish guitar.

I had one but got rid a while ago and considered buying one at a boot sale a couple of years back for nostalgia sake but it was so badly beaten I left it.

Certainly looks more like the Antoria bridge and although it might be a Tiesco , I cannot remember many of them having the Eko style zero fret , which was something that the UK Antorias had.??

Would be nice to know if the pick up has any info on it that may point back to Matsumoko who were making guitars for almost everyone , some of the Matsus make nice collectibles]]> Guitar Players Discussion catcha https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/42-year-old-guitar-what-is-it/#post-319385 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/42-year-old-guitar-what-is-it/#post-317837 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 08:54:03 +0000
David (dhodge) can tell you a story about when we were at uni together. briefly: he showed me his dad's beat up, rusty, worn out electric that clearly needed a good refurb. and I was on my way to doing it -- paint job and all. fortunately, David told a local shop owner about it before I did too much. he offered David a considerably trade deal for that late 50's Tele. and it hung in that shop for years as a prize find -- nearly as beat up as the day I first saw it.]]> Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/42-year-old-guitar-what-is-it/#post-317837 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/42-year-old-guitar-what-is-it/#post-317784 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 21:43:33 +0000
I buy used guitars week in and week out and my favorite part is working on them, I just bought a used Charvel Fusion of the 80's, totally RE-DID the guitar and realized I didnt really want it so I took it back. Oh man did they get a different guitar then they sold lol :lol:
