Hi Thor,
This is defenitely a 60 or 70 Japanese "invasion guitar" a lot of
features are familiar witht the Early Aria Diamond guitars (Pick ups for
example) It looks like a weird Mosrite/Jaguar inspired guitar, given the
headstock etc...
I think this is made by Aria/Diamond but the released several "american"
sounding brand names.
I had a very simelar Aria Diomand for repair. Shimming the neck (As
Brain mentioned to me a few weeks ago) will do the trick on the high
action. The Pu's are nice but don't produce that much sound.

I have this guitar and gave it to a friend over a year ago and just
got it back. I was wondering if anybody knew anything about it:
I assume it's a 60's or 70's Japanese copy of a Fender Jaguar. The
pickup selectors say "MIC1" and "MIC2" and it says "Made in Japan" on
the back.
It looks really rad, the whammy bar is great and nice and smooth..
unfortunately I don't think it's possible to get it intoned
correctly, it goes out of tune easily, and it's not very playable
(high action). It sounds alright though.
