Re: What is this?
Uh-Oh! Do I see this leading back to the well worn discussion of what is a real Mosrite? I agree with others that this is a Fillmore with different wiring and pickups. The label may have been added after manufacture to reflect a owners name. Many times labels are changed using various methods. Does this make a counterfit guitar when a label is changed? I will leave that up to the attorneys.

I did some digging around and found that this particular model might be a signature model of one Junji Ishiwatari. A guitarist from a japanese band called "Supercar". Looks cool! But I'm missing chrome covers on the buckers.

In my 2002 Fillmore catalog there's a Mark IV that looks just like that, right down to the bypass switches, except that it's got a "Mosrite of Classics" (sic) logo on the headstock.
