Bill Lawrence MB120 Chisato Moritaka Model - Set Neck, Ebony Fingerboard - Made in Japan
This is the Bill Lawrence MB120, the upper-grade version of the Chisato Moritaka signature guitar made in Japan. Chisato Moritaka is a Japanese pop singer, and her signature models were introduced in 1995 in two versions: the bolt-on MB-68 and this MB120, which has a set neck and an ebony fingerboard.
Bill Lawrence guitars in Japan were sold through Moridaira (Morris), and the MB120 is rarely seen on the used market. This example is finished in black with cream body binding and pearloid block inlays. It plays well and works as it should.

== WHY THIS GUITAR ==
The Chisato Moritaka signature models are a little-known part of 1990s Japanese guitar making, and the MB120 is the upper-grade version. With its set neck, ebony fingerboard and dual humbuckers, it is a well-made Japanese guitar and an interesting piece for collectors of Japanese pop culture and Japanese-made guitars.
