Now all I need is an X420VS!

These are L-R
'77 Maple Pro s/n J77*****
'77 Jazz Strad s/n K77****
'76 Elvin Bishop (or what BECAME the Elvin Bishop Model) s/n G76*****

Anyone know what factory these might have come from? Matsumoku? Surely not with the "letter/month" code at the front of the s/n?
How can I find out?

Thanks in advance! Let me know if you need larger pics...

Beautiful!

With those letter-prefixed serials, most likely they were sourced through Hoshino and made by either Fujigen or Matsumoku. I believe someone around here has been studying details of these models.
