| The 1965 is made in the Terada factory in Japan where they make Gretches, and has a nitro lacquer finish and USA/Gibson parts. It comes in the Revolution model (sanded down, blond) or the 1965 model, sunburst. That's the "top" model. I know that originally they made a limited edition of these, maybe 1965 of each model total. I don't personally know whether they made more of them, or whether MF and others still have some of the original run in stock. I've got one of the original Revolution models, it's an amazingly good guitar assuming you can live with the narrow neck profile. The next model down is the Elitist model, also made in the Terada factory in Japan, but with a poly finish. Otherwise the Elitist is almost identical (There may be a slight difference in headstock shape). Far below those are the Korean made casinos. | |
