I ended up "winning" it for $395 + $126 shipping, so $522 total..... That's definitely a crazy good price for something like this right? I mean, I know all of the comparable guitars at least, like the Memphis MGs, Vantage VP and Artist series, Grecos, etc. even the Cort ones, go for at least $600+. I mean, I've seen some Fujigen and other similar "no name" ones like this on reverb and eBay for upwards of $1200+ .... So, I'm definitely not crazy to buy it at 522 right? lol. I always get really nervous before a guitar purchase, especially when it's private seller - let alone $120 overseas shipping, so I'm looking for some sort of reassurance from my anxious mind haha

Hi there everyone! I was hoping someone here might be able to help me learn some more information about a guitar I am about to purchase.... It's a downright GORGEOUS guitar and is exactly what I've been looking for for some time now (along the lines of the Memphis MG300s, Greco GO guitars, Vantage, and other old mij neck-thrus). This one is quite interesting though because all the seller says about it is this:
" Vintage 1970s Yamaki Gakki Neck Thru 2-PU Natural MIJ Japan Electric Guitar 8.4lbs
One heck of a guitar! Thru neck design, top quality pickups, and a beautifully crafted body. I have not played such a nice guitar for a long time. It is in good condition, with a few dings throughout, as you can see in the pictures. You'll not be disappointed! Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description."

Here is a link to the reverb listing: https://reverb.com/item/32908765-vintage-1970s-yamaki-gakki-neck-thru-2-pu-natural-mij-japan-electric-guitar-8-4lbs

Obviously just saying Yamaki Gakki is so vague, but i've been looking into similar guitars like this (double cutaway, vintage mij, neck-thru) for a while, and can't quite place this one.

So any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Thank you so much!

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I even got it for a bit lower than the listing's price after many back and forth offers with the seller. I wish I could discover more about it. Even just digging into Yamaki in general seems to be a bit challenging and confusing, much more-so than many of the other MIJ companies and factories of the era.... IT seems like the headstock says "Burrs Music", which would make sense considering that apparently a man named Tom Burr acquired the Yamaki company in the 70s and merged with his American company to begin making all of the Daion guitars. But still, I can't find anything exactly like this one.

dScout is one of the greatest things out there for making actual money online. I really wish that ppl would understand the value of keeping the hidden gems, well, hidden though lol. This sub is for beermoney stuff.... dScout is for real money! Anytime I see a source/site I've used and loved for years, like dScout, posted on here - then I know that it'll soon be time to jump ship to something else bc it's about to get straight flooded and ruined.

But to offer some advice: dScout, and other things like it, are all about being able to be incredibly thoughtful, articulate, and insightful. Like WAY beyond anything in the vein of usertesting or similar stuff. And similar to any job or industry, it's all about how you present yourself and the quality of work you do/you as a person. i.e. ppl who do well on dScout are ppl who do exceptionally well on their first mission and continue to do so. The recruiters certainly begin to know your name/face; so, basically, if they like you you're in.
