The Grover copy tuners & black control position dots on the scratchplate (look closely among the marker pen ones) are Mat traits - and I have seen an Aria Pro catalogue featuring a maple board version. Typically I can't bloody find it now but I'll post a link if it turns up. I've also got pics of a Mat-built Greco identical to this one. I can't be sure from the photo but this looks like it has only a single truss rod - all the other neckthrough Mats I've seen have twin rods, so this would be unusual. Bolt-neck Mats turn up with single or double rods, though. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Here's an interesting modern KoreaDiarrhoea copy, surprisingly accurate compared to many of its contemporaries, apart from the set neck.

Happy Jack Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 More convincing than the RockinBetter and - I think - marginally cheaper. Or is it actually a RockinBetter sold under a different name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 It's a bit more convincing on the hardware front than Rockinbetters & Indies & such, but the Beckinrotter's neck-through, I think. I've seen the same bridge on a Shine, but the Rick-type bridge pickup surround & cover are new to me. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
