No actually it's a Mako. Just some Japanese company from the 80's but I've been reading really good things about them.

The main reason I bought it though, is that it has a standard trem, which in my experience is nearly impossible to find on a V. I have been looking for one for over a year now.

I've tried Kahler and Floyd Rose, but I've found that my favorite is just the plain old standard unit.

I've seen some Mako basses before - pretty good quality stuff.

Nice find!! I remember Mako. They were pretty well made Japanese knock offs. I had an Epiphone Randy V from the 80's. A guy traded to me for some football cards!! LOL

I repainted it Canary Yellow and installed all new black hardware. It was a neck through too. Problem was someone broke the truss rod! I didnt know until I went to get it set up and I didnt want to spend the $100 for a new truss rod so I sold it on ebay for around $100. I wish I had never sold it though. I CANNOT find them anywhere now!

Have fun with the V. The stripping is nice and I dig the color too. Is it a set neck or neck through or is it a bolt on neck? If you dont mind me asking how much did that set you back?

Sorry to reply so late.

It cost $290 I was the only bidder.

To be honest, and this is going to make me sound like an undiscerning buyer, I don't know what neck type it is. There were no pictures of the back, and by the description, it was obvious the seller knew little about guitars. From the pictures there were, I'm guessing set neck.

However, the biggest selling points for me were the tremelo and the price. So even though I prefer not to have bolt-ons (none of my current 3 electrics are) I won't be devistated if it is.

I will post more pics or maybe a video when I get it. The 10th according to my tracking number.

Well I got the guitar yesterday and it is awesome. The picture does not do the paint job justice. I will post some hopefully better pics and maybe some sound clips or video.
