so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

It might be an earlier version with a different body shape than the newer ones - but I'm certain it's a Vintage.
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

First thoughts were, that's never 70's, hang on, it looks like a vintage/jhs..
Thanks for your input - have a wisdom!
If it stays the right side of silly for what it actually is, rather than what the seller says it is, I might have a punt..
I've had this for over 20 years myself.... Got it from a friend in 1994. He'd had it for a long time too. If you look at the second last picture... the one looking down the guitar from the headstock end, you'll just be able to make out the butterfly motif that's been painted over (before I owned it). Best research I've been able to come up with is that it was probably made by Matsumoku in Japan who were known to distribute good quality copies in the 60's and 70's.. Check this for reference... http://www.music-trade.co.jp/Aria_80020705carte.html
Hope this helps
@Sarge might be able to shed light on any possible Matsumoku connection..?
