xardoz, I don't know if you are aware that Lafayette was an importer/ distributor of electronics and guitars. So, you now know who imported and distributed your guitar but there is still the question of who made it.
Based on the headstock shape, my first guess is going to be Guyatone. Although a few other Japanese companies used this shape (Minister comes to mind), Guyatone used it on more guitars over a longer period of time. Here is an excerpt from a 1966 Guyatone catalog to illustrate what I mean.
Unfortunately, I've been unable to locate the body style of your guitar in any of the Guyatone literature I have so I the question of manufacturer is still open.
Does anyone have other ideas? sbStatistics: Posted by VintAxe — Sun Mar 16, 2008 11:33 am
