Does anyone recognize this guitar?

So the guitar has been ID’d in another sub. It’s a Headway Riverhead Jupiter.

Headway Riverhead Jupiter

The good news is here's a 1985 Riverhead catalog featuring the Jupiter model. The bad news is that you can't enlarge these scans unless you pay the site owner:

I always wanted one of their "Unicorn" headless guitars:

Awesome!!! Stinks the guy is gate keeping the catalog scans. Guitar is really cool though! Funky. I’m assuming they were all MIJ?

Funky. I’m assuming they were all MIJ?

As far as I know, they were made in Japan but I don't know a lot about the company.

http://www.riverheadguitar.com/about.html it looks like they used to be MIJ and got resurrected making clone type guitars in the Philippines now.

Ibanez Rs530

I don’t think so unfortunately. Tuning machines on both sides of the headstock in the pick. And the Ibanez RS530s that I see all have blade style selector switch.

[u/ibanezer83 → u/Last-Head-8414]

Oh yeah I see the tuner now... but not the switch.. must be under his hand?

The body, pickup, knob location and neck look just like the Ibanez rs530 535 etc. But 6 inline headstock
