1970s Made In Japan Bigsby-equipped Mustang-like three-pickup wonder

guitarz.blogspot.com:
I'm afraid I am unable to identify this 1970s Japanese-made electric which seems to be an amalgam of guitar designs from Fender and Gibson with perhaps a little nod to Hagstrom too. The 3-a-side headstock shape is slightly at odd with the almost Mustang-like bodyshape, but somehow it works. The guitar appears to have three humbuckers (but you can't always tell simply by looking with Japanese guitars of this vintage - they could be single coils in disguise) but apparently only a three-way switch, which is weird. The icing on the cake is the Bigsby (or what might be a very close approximation of a Bigsby) vibrato.
