Here we have a late 70s very early 80s Japan made copy of the infamous Washburn Falcon. Its in most excellent condition but does have one little spot on the front where the varnish has been chipped and professionally repaired, hard to see but is there. All set up with 9s low action straight neck, intonations set and pots and electronics working perfectly, no issues and ready to play. Sorry no case but will be packed very well. Lotus Falcon or sometimes called the Eagle very rarely come up for sale and when they do they are almost always missing their original parts, this one is all here and un molested all original condition. see pics for over all cosmetic condition, ask any questions and make a offer, Below is some info for this guitar from wiki page.
The Moridaira-made Lotus guitars are the rarest and hardest to find as Lotus/Morris made them at most for only 2–3 years. These guitars all are solid-bodied and were made in the same factory as Tokai. There are only 3 models that are known to have come from Lotus/Morris:
- 1. The Lotus L670B (a direct copy of the 1980-1982/3 Fender "Bullet"—MIA and MIJ, but not MIK) other than having switches instead of buttons, a different headstock shape, a solid body and the same pickups. There were no letters on the headstock.
- 2. The Lotus Vantage copy (Washburn Eagle, Aria Pro II Cardinal series, or Ibanez Artist) double cutaway (batwing) guitar with a solid body, 3 per side tuners on headstock, rosewood fingerboard with brass inlays, brass nut and neck-through construction (though there may have been a bolt-on model). This was usually finished in emerald green, polished mahogany or stained blue/white breadboard style and occasionally gloss white with 2 exposed humbucker pickups.
- 3. A more conventional Gibson Les Paul copy, usually only seen in gloss black or tobacco burst. These were neck through, and bolt on neck, with hardware similar to their double-cutaway Vantage copy.
These three models are easily on par with the Matsumoku-made Westbury and the high-end neck-through Vantage guitars. MoJo is very strong.
