I just picked up another older Japanese Martin copy from Japan. It’s an “ELVIS” brand, Made by Daiwa-Gakki, Tokyo, Japan. I never knew Daiwa made guitars. It’s one sweet axe. I’ll post pics soon.
I just acquire an IC crown city imports Martin clone yesterday. the model # is FW-617. It looks like it might have been made by Takamine in the 70’s. It has a solid spruce top, solid rosewood back and sides with pearl purfling around soundhole and top of body. Sounds and plays great. Very well made.
