Help Identifying Koetsu Onyx


Hi All

I recently acquired a Koetsu Onyx. I can't seem to find any information on which Onyx version it is. It has a sloped end and there is no generator cowl. Pins are silver and the mounting bar is black. It was sold to me an Onyx Platinum. Would appreciate any views on this. Many thanks.

This looks odd, could be fake. The original Onyx’ from the 80’s had longer bodies & flat bottom. Never seen a slant front bottom on an Onyx before - I have only only seen this shape on Koetsu Black Goldline & Std Koetsu Red/Rosewood. The Rosewood Signature has a flat bottom.
Try Melvin Ang at Koetsu South East Asia - he is very good on Koetsu support.
