Pic's of two guitar's in my small collection: A recent china-made Pearl River "Warrior" copy (bottom photo) which I got used, and is all original as far as I can tell.....and an '80's vintage japanese Yakima H771KTCR Rhoads Vee copy, which is all original except for the tuning machines and replacement Kahler locking clamp behind the nut (pic's show the old part's still in place). The Yakima is a neck-thru-body guitar. They both play great and sound excellent. I know very little about these two guitar's. I've never seen a Pearl River "jackson copy" anywhere before (which is why I bought it),....and information on Yakima guitar's is literally non-existant on the web, or in print. All I know is that Yakima's were made in Japan. Enjoy!
