Looks to be an 82 TA-70

Lower than I've seen them in the past (but still a ways from a bargain).

I wonder if it could be a TA-60? The only thing I don't like about my red one is the black headstock with cream pickguard. Pictures I've seen of TA-70s seem to have a headstock that matches the body. This 1981 catalog from a helpful site shows the TA-70: http://www.matsumoku.org/cm_models/2021 ... ler-slick/

I bought my nice TA-60 with OHSC on eBay for $600 10 years ago. Maybe a little high but I just had to have it. I still look for an 80 or 100, but they are few and far between, as are MIJ 60s. Seems like people are holding on to them.

You're right, it might be a TA-60. For some reason I was thinking the 60 was bolt neck. I officially became a senior citizen the 12th and age is definitely catching up with me.

If I hadn't just bought two guitars recently I'd be considering it.

My body is certainly aging but I will forever be 15 in my mind. So says my wife... :rofl:
