Ur right on all 3 counts. Ive owned a mark II and currently own a reverse key.
As its from Japan, i wonder if a worker in the factory put it together. Ive got friends who work at the local Hoshino (Ibanez) factory who've built hybrid guitars using parts from different models. I bought a beautiful Artwood acoustic model that was never available as an electric....
