IT WAS MADE BY SUZUKI VIOLIN COMPANY from the Nagoya area of Japan. There was one Suzuki company before the 2nd World War. After the war, aN entity created by the US and allies called GHQ (for General Headquarters) dismantled some parts of 'Imperial' Japan and some companies were closed or restructured. In Suzuki's case, the company was separated into: the Suzuki Violin Company , changing to the Kiso Suzuki Violin Company and - the Suzuki Violin Manufacturing Company came to be called the Nagoya Suzuki Violin Company. Kiso Suzuki went bankrupt in 1987 and the machines and materials were sold to ESP . Nagoya Suzuki stopped making guitars in 1989. THERE ARE 3 TIGHT CRACKS ON THE SOUND BOARD THAT DO NOT IMPACT THE PLAYABILITY OF THE INSTRUMENT. THE BACK HAS A FEW TIGHT CRACKS THAT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN GLUED.
