Notes
NOTE: Not totally sure Michigan is a brand.
Uncertainty about country of origin, also. Looks very much MIJ, but could be early MIK.
Thanks for any informations about this great guitar!
welcome!
Matsu guys strongly suggest she has all the 80s Cort attributes: triple dots, large brass TRC, etc. That would indicate she's been made by Cort in Korea in the 80s. Pictures and link to models from this period are indeed showing details and features very similar to the Michigan ones!
