Got there too late. It was a prime candidate for the MIK Artstar orphanage. Although, I might be moving toward a MC200/MC300. Still thinking.

And another one...narrow headstock 'Cort'-Artstar model...And the seller does not even give the year.(!?). It's got a scarfed neck/headstock attachment. YUCK!

Guitartim,

The seller does not only give us a year, he's giving us a very good picture of the label with the handwritten serial number, and...
as a language teacher I know that handwriting!
Thank you VERY MUCH for this link! You just solved my serial number problem. Whoopie!
There always was this unidentified digit: was it a 4 or a 7?
But no: it's a bloody 5!

This blonde one has serial nr C5xxxxxx, which means: made by Cort in 1995.

I know about the scarfed neck/headstock attachments. On a blonde one it's pretty ugly. On a sunburst it's hidden under masking paint.
I once had the opportunity to buy an Epiphone Broadway NT for €500.- and I didn't take it either.

But this is a very ecological way to produce necks. And as long as it plays well and I don't see it, I don't care.
I judge instruments by their feel, sound and looks.

Thanks again, Guitar Tim,



Ginger
