There's probably a whole heap of spare rollers lying around Japan somewhere as they probably took two rollers off to make bass bridges??

Years ago I was cleaning my mom's attic and came across a box of guitar parts my brother left there. That pickguard and those pickups look suspiciously like ones I found in the box. It's in my attic now. Thanks to Bassassasin for inadvertently showing me what I have. :)

Many many thanks both of you. Its allways so much more fun to know something about the guitar. Adds something to it somehow.
Best regards.

The same, or similar guitar would have been sold under loads of different names, though.

For some reason the pictures turn out really small when uploading via image shack. I think im doing something wrong.
In the pictures I have replaced the bridge (I have kept the old one in case I want to switch back). The knobs were also missing so those are new.

A long shot - cannot find pictures....
"... a prototype for a new Gibson guitar with double cutaways, pointed horns, and a bolt-on neck. Gibson, never a bolt-neck kind of company, didn't know how to produce the guitar. DeMarr used the basic shape of the prototype to sketch out a new design for Westheimer with more rounded horns. Jack took this design to Kawai whose Hanshu plant proceeded to produce the Kingston A2 or S2 (two pickups) and A1 or S1 (one pickup) guitars and the AB1 shortscale bass which were introduced in 1960. These were produced in both a three-and-three or a six-in-line headstock versions. They had mahogany bodies and a metal pickguard that held the pickups under the strings. Pickups were the chunky chrome-covered single-coil kind with angled corners. There was an adjustable bridge (not compensated) and a covered stop-tailpiece. ....
