Yup Andries. MIJ stands for Made in Japan. I just posted a good Norma listen. The whammy bar is missing but it has it’s spring so it functions as a palm whammy. I could add the bar but I’d need to drill out the broken bolt in the bar hole. I’ll pass on that. Pick had some good comments on Normas.

i found out that they are made in Japan, in limited proportions believe yours is a novelty in that setup ! What is MIJ ? you mean the bridge?  you dont have the tremelo handle?

Thanks Andries. I think it’s a MIJ. This one’s very well built except the badge which is cheesy. This one is tone to the bone. I just finished playing her for my daily strum. She’s very sweet.
