Yes, I already searched extensively. There is very little info on the company as it was destroyed in Kobe earthquake. There are no detailed records but few catalog pages and "old" musicians who remember those guitars.Also Japanese masters used different coding that other builders, so it was hard to find clues on how to determine age of guitars.

I know who made it (Maya musical instrumen CO) , I just needed to find a way to help people determine age of these fine guitars. I imagine there is more info on Japanese forums but I cannot browse them as my knowledge of language is...well shameful.I read almost every page that mentions model of the guitar and company that built them.

You've all been very helpful and I am grateful for that.

Thanks!
