It looks like it says Gibson but I've never seen one that has a neck through body design and the headstock is all wrong. It is shaped kinda like a Gibson/Epiphone Genesis though. Hmmmmm
 
Yeah it has the look of an aria, westbury, westone etc but headstock is different to all them. Matsumoko also made Epiphone so perhaps it's a Japanese market Gibson?? Certainly never seen a Gibson like it before.
 
Looks like a westone with a Gibson decal..has the on board boost/pre amp too..I'd say thats what it is.They're beautiful guitars..this ones overpriced though..
 
Headstock is more paddle like than any Westone I've seen but I'd still hazard it was made in the same factory.

Yeah..I'd lay money its a Matusmoko alright..or maybe its thedesign the Matsomoko ripped off.

Eother way..I'm crippled with GAS just looking at it..my poor old Telecaster is crying
 
Wern't Jap Gibsons of that era branded Orville though?

The fact that so little information is offered in the ad would make me suspicious.

Orville were post Aria/Matsumoko but still I can't find any sign of Japanese made/Gibson branded guitars anywhere so chances are the decal is fake. Also I'd bet the truss rod cover says Thunder I A on it.

I think getting it at 400 would be ok seeing as it's the neck through version whichever brand it actually is. Someone shoudl email for further info.
