Can anyone ID this guitar?

It's hard to see with these small photos. Got anything larger? I'm thinking 80's MIJ copy from one of dozens of factories. Before the lawsuits (actually letters threatening lawsuits) these kinds of guitars were prolifferating at an exponential rate.
I've never see that exact model though.

This was an ebay item, and the bidding is over. It looked a fun project guitar. Here's the URL, but I guess it really doesn't matter now. I lost the bid. Thnaks for the reply, I do appreciate it.

Those photos helped, but after a bunch of searching I can't find any other guitars just like it. I found some Aria's that looked sort of like it, but not really.

I too think it looks like a Burns.............I guy in town plays in a rockabilly act and has a Burns guitar that looks very similiar.
I believe that it's a 70s Burns copy from Japan. I'll have to check the archives, but I believe that there's an early Tokai that is very similar, and probably others. Tough to tell from the small photos, but has a few similar characteristics. Burns never really caught on in the USA, but were big in the UK and Japan, so there was a legitimate copy market.
