Anybody know anything about when Radio Shack sold guitars? I did a search on the web and someone asked the same question and the answer that came back was that Radio Shack did sell "Realistic" branded guitars in the late '60s and early '70s.
I find it hard to believe my guitar would be a Radio Shack guitar though.... I guess it's my skewed perception of Radio Shack, so I apologize if my perception is wrong. My guitar is really pretty high quality for a bolt-on neck. It blows away my old Ibanez 2395 ES-345 pre-lawsuit copy. If Radio Shack once sold pretty high quality guitars, I'd be surprised.

I did write down on a card once that it might be a Voxton. I don't know what made me think that. I'm just looking at the card and it says "330 = Voxton?". I looked on google and most Voxton guitars appear to have a horizontal logo, and not vertical.
Notice the placement of the volume/tone controls. They are completely away from the f-hole. This is not common in most ES copies I've seen which tend to be scattered around the lower opening of the f-hole.
Also, notice the binding is interesting, with that extra dashed line.
Pickups are smaller than humbuckers, about P90 sized, and sound a bit like P90s.
Notice the wood inlay on the tremelo trapeze.
Lastly, the neck heel backplate says "Steel-Reinforced Neck" and then a 370 serial number, and then a sticker that says "Made in Japan". Very Matsumoku, no?
(note: I don't have the twang bar, nor the thumbwheels on the bridge, I actually use a different tunomatic style bridge, the one in the photo is the original, minus the thumbwheels).
I have more pictures if needed.
