This guitar is the signature model of Issei Noro first produced in 1988 prodution ceased in 1992.
See also the IN 10 he also has a signature SG2000 which I will detail at some stage.
This guitar was catalogued at 283,000 yen in 1988, so a little cheaper than the IN-10 I have seen a few for sale but it looks
like they would want you to part with over £5000 for one.

to do with the coil tap
