The only thing that i could find that comes close is an Aria Pro.Aria made some guitars with the same mini toggle switches on body.I think Aria was made in Japan also.That could also be another reason it looks like an Ibanez.Aria was prob. cloning everything in sight?I doubt its an Ibanez though?

I know its not an Ibanez, I have a feeling it could be a FujiGen build because of the fancy tailpiece and bridge being identical to Ibanez.

The first time I saw one of these was back in 2001. Check out this thread for some more tidbits:

Thanks Johns. I guess that solves part of the mystery. Anyone got any brochure scans of this or am I asking to much?

Fingers,
I saw you wrote: "I looked for the Magnum for quite a while last night couldnt find it."

I have a tip for you: Next to the title of each thread are five option links. One of them is "SEARCH". Just click on it, then type "magnum" <enter> in the keyword field and look what you'll find. You'll be surprised...

It's almost as good as Google, but just a tiny little bit more focussed on Japanese guitars.

(If you type "magnum" in Google, you find mainly Tom Selleck, guns and icecream on a stick.

(It works for "Super 50" and "AS120" and "wax potting" too). Do your benefit with it.
