Thanks! Are you and I the only ones who get to work early in the morning? heh heh... NOPE, haven't found ANYTHING about it. The model number is FESCE-NT (hand written on both the guitar and the original owner's manual that came with it). Searching produces ZERO results, but he showed me in the used guitar bible (size of a phone book) what it originally sold for, and what it's worth now, so I know that it's not a fake. ;)
