definetly a marauder copy. wasn't there a company named "Maya" back in the 70's that used to make copies of gibson guitars? That logo kinda looks like an "M"

I checked, thats not the logo for Maya. Im starting to think its homemade...

anything on the guitar that may clue you in as to where it is (manufacture date, serial #, location).

If there's a backing plate in the back, try taking that off and see if there's anything there

Keep in mind that in reality there are very few Asian guitar factories, especially back in the 60's, 70's and 80's. These factories would build guitars to spec and to order with whatever brand name you wanted like ordering business cards. An example of this is Fuji Gen Gakki. They are a factory in Japan that builds Fender, Ibanez, and countless other brand name guitars.

This guitar looks like a Matsumoku product. These guys built guitars under the brand names Univox, early import Epiphone, Electra, Vantage, and Westone. Plus many, many other brands and no names. The trick is to find the manufacturer, then find out who they made instruments for and investigate it from there.
