That's 'Hoshino style' numbering (aka 'Ibanez style). It only applied in 76 and 77 but the first digit is month, secodn and thrid are year. THis one was built June of 76. I'd call it a Studio Zephyr, but I wonder if this one has been repainted. Maybe its jsut the lighting but the top looks grey rather than white.

Jsut as likely not made by Matsumoku, but by Fujigen, who was a main source for Hoshino - but that's not certain, Matt made guitars for them too. Not that it matters, both were great builders.
