1970s D'Agostino through-neck Japanese-made electric guitar

guitarz.blogspot.com:
Here's another Japanese-made guitar, this time from the 1970s and it's of genuine through-neck construction rather than being a "faux though neck" like the Morris guitar we looked at earlier this week. It's a D'Agostino, a brand about which I unfortunately know very little (and neither does the eBay seller of this guitar). However, the DiMarzio (or DiMarzio design) pickups, the control knobs, and the brass nut, brass truss rod cover and the very particular brass fingerboard inlays are all highly reminiscent of those on the Kay K45 travel guitar (marketed in the USA as the Austin Hatchet); surely it's some relation?

Currently listed on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $600.
