The second one is a brown sunburst which a friend found at an auction five years ago , it has the squarer logo , which I have always taken to be an earlier model…
..there are many similarities which led me to this conclusion…….
..the headstock shape and the truss rod covers are identical…as are the tuners..
..the main body construction is the same , mainly solid with an arched plywood section glued to the front…
..the frets were heavily filed on both , need some shaping to restore a rounded top shape…
…both have ‘made in japan’ stamped in identical manner on the neck plate…
