That's a pretty Spoiler. I'd guess bocate top. A bit unusual to see a Spoiler with purpleheart neck laminates too. 

I can not see the pictures. I only get Japanese writings and no pictures.

They're not allowing people from the EEA (EU+Norway) and the UK to access yahoo.co.jp - there is some text in English on the page where you land.

I saw them very briefly, then a "Foreign Visitors Click Here" thing covered them.
I, needless to say, did not click.

ok, didn't know that. Thanks!

Because I can see them, here's a couple screenshots. It's a really nice bass. Possibly some trauma around the jack that's been repaired? Could be a reflection. Other than the 5-string models, or Custom orders, I can't remember any Spoiler 4's with purpleheart neck lams. This one looks a little different too. Maybe a small Spoiler? I can't see a serial number or read the ad unfortunately. 

Mica, Flip, Matt, Harry?

Aside from the purpleheart, it looks like a pretty standard Spoiler to me. From what I can decipher, the serial number starts with 87RS. Not sure what that R is all about. 

The R is for Rokkoman, the Japanese distributor (who also brought you the AJ instruments). It usually designates a 3/4 sized body on a Spoiler. There are some RR serials as well, for other configurations.
