Made in Japan, current models. Ibanez, I would guess. Any others?

Maybe "Archtop Tribute", inventory. But I don't know how you'd get one out of Japan. To tell the truth, I don't know where they're made, because I can't read Japanese.
-
If you can find one there are sometimes NOS Gretsch Synchromatic G400s for sale. They're made in the Terada factory in Japan -not hugely expensive. A lot of guitar for not much $$$$.
-
Seventy Seven makes some nice models. Not really cheap, but not outrageous.
-
Kingsnake guitars are made in Terada as well.

These Rozeo/Terada guitars look quite intriguing. 25" scale. Laminated spruce top/laminated maple sides and back/mahogany neck. 1.7" nut width.
The clip of the instrument with the CC-style pickup sounds nice.

Miki Gakki is the only other Japanese dealer of Rozeo Ladybug I know.
They are mostly based on the Gibson L1 acoustic parlour guitar size. Cool guitars that do not break the bank.Last edited by Jabberwocky; 06-09-2017 at 03:04 PM.

At Last Guitar the Rozeo instruments look like they come in at about US $1,700. That's about ballpark for a Terada-made, new archtop, I should think. Several of the models look like real GAS territory.
-
Prices shown include 8% Japanese sales tax which is extracted when they are exported. Shipping by Japan Post EMS runs about JPY15000. Bank wire attracts a fee of JPY4000 to JPY6000 that the Japanese retailer makes an overseas buyer pay most times.
Credit cards attract about 3.5% upcharge.

Most any Gretsch MIJ will do Jazz or any other style with minimal amp compensation. Sadly the movers and shakers at Fender believe that most Gretsch models should have the horrid , ugly, heavy, out-of-tuner, abomination of a tremolo / whammy bar. Can you tell I don't like a tremolo bar? :-)
I got mine!

Hey, walkin have got these on the go...
I used Google translate...
Based on the know-how gained in the Archtop Tribute series, the series "ATC = Archtop Tribute Custom" planned as a brand that goes further on it. This is a tribute model "ATC 350 BK" for Mr. Bernie Kessel, a great jazz guitar player. As many fans all over the world are eagerly awaiting, the model of illusion which had never been commercialized until the end was finally commercialized.
?• Custom-made AAA grade · Hard Maple · Plywood, all-lacquer paint from the ground, Ebony handmade bridge assembly designed exclusively by Walken production, and CC pickup, pickguard specially designed, Made by Montreux USA Veil tail piece, fretting process on custom line, elaborate setup after arrival by Wokinghin ... If it is a brand-name product of another company, this model that seems to be a superior 5 thousand dollar class, the selling price is 330,000 yen! (* Case / Tax excluding tax)
?? Although products and conversion specifications close to one off have been scattered before now, the thorough remake to this point is perhaps the world first. Of course, full-scale mass production is also the world's first, so do not miss Bernie Kessel fans!

?? [Body]
· Body Top:? Highly Figured Hard Maple / Spruce Plywood
? · Body Top: Highly Figured Hard Maple / Spruce Plywood

You can get a lot of guitar with the Archtop Tribute guitars. My next guitar will probably be an AT. I pop into the store regularly and they are much cooler in person. If you drop an email, Masaki, the owner, speaks English and I'm sure could answer any of your questions. There is another line of guitars that he started called Westville. These are a little higher in price than the AT line and ATC lines and are very unique in their design and attention to detail. In person they are beautiful. You can look them up on Facebook or go to the website www.westvilleguitars.com.

Looks like a really sweet guitar.
You could use some black tape, cover up the logo and it'd be just like "Bernie's".
