Wow - I'm very very impressed with Deviser customer service and still chuffed to bits with this guitar . I emailed them again with my additional pictures and got the following reply.

This guitar was built by Yasuo Momose some time between 1996 to 1999.
It was a custom guitar ordered by some music shop or some indivusual.

PS, Richard the one pot I can read in full says R1379718.

MIJ's obseration about the pot codes seems to tie in nicely with the dates you've got from Deviser. If it's a hand-built Yasushi Momose guitar then that really is something a bit special!!

MIJ,

Thanks for that, it's useful to know. So that dates the guitar somewhere between mid 1997 and 1999.
