    Mechayoshi's website:


    I suspect it may be a model that Mechayoshi has yet to document on his website, and was a Japanese market guitar. It's always interesting uncovering little-known models like these. Interesting specs and description given on the website you linked above. Short scale mini Rhoads!

      charvel did make a rhoads shaped guitar
      but this one looks like a piece cheap of donkey doo.

      Ishabi (check spelling) has multiple for sale. The black one looks better.

        Looks like something new to investigate. I'll do some digging on this and add to the site soon. I've found other mini guitars but they had the built in speaker.

        My collection also there!

          There's been a lot of weird Japanese Charvels, I know there's a couple Charvel's in the shape of an Deam ML, and there was another I can't remember at the moment. Kind of wonder if it wasn't a side hustle by the shop that did the Jackson Stars, or if Jackson actually ok'ed them to copy IP's. dunno, but it's not just other Jacksons Charvel made weird copies of.
          In the future though I need to remember to not buy guitars while on Nyquil

            They all have 24 frets
            I know the old saying that the value of an opinion is generally inversely proportional to the strength with which it is held.

                  I count 22. Maybe someone stuck a Mocel 4 neck on a Rhoads body?

                      I'm saying they should have 24 frets not that those do
