  1. hi! I think i’ve got the same Arbiter SG Model as you. I’ve been surching for some info about it but it’s hard to find… what do you know about yours?

    • They were Japanese made for the UK market believe they are Matsumoku or Fuji Gen (as Ibanez) made most likely Fuji Gen but not 100% sure. Good qulaity made in japan guitars from mid to late 70s. Sorry I do not have any more detailed information.
