It's Edwards E-SR Kellog, as in Kellog’s Tony the Tiger. Actually, I only paid ¥53989 = $349 after tax sealed the deal. Based on the exchange rate in 2013-2014, it was$1400-1500 based on the that exchange rate. As you can see, the film is still on the back cavity of this one as well.

Japan is like a gold mine of rare illegal Fender headstock options.
