My money would be on Epiphone, but if it was made pre '76 it could be anyone.

It looks like it's been repainted so just judging from the pics posted it's anyone's guess. I, regrettably, don't have a lot of knowledge of the Accused nor the gear they used so that's of no help to me. It would be easy to dismiss it as an Epiphone/Gibson just based off of the headstock but these days there are a million knock off manufactures out there. The bridge and tuners look original so I'd start there.

Good luck in your quest but then again, who cares who made it? The real question is whether you like how it plays and sounds.

I'd also like to add that to whoever made it, you would hope they would have taken a little bit of care when they routed the truss rod cavity on the headstock. It looks like a couple of drunk beavers chewed that one out.

My first thought was, Arbor.

You could be right Oof... I was thinking Arbor or Cort.

Used to have an Arbor 6 string V... Whew, what a dog. Finally set fire to it.

If it's an Arbor, it will weigh 300 lbs at least.

The headstock shape looks very familiar, but I can't quite place it.

I'd guess Cort.

Hmmm, the headstock reminds me of an old Carvin I had...
