Your guitar was actually built by Kawai. Judging by the pups and the trem unit I would guess 1968.
The guitar could have been branded most anything since they were exported around the world. Around 1968-69 is when Japanese budget guitars took over budget guitar sales in the US. American catalog distributors like Sears, Wards and Western Auto switched from carrying USA made instruments to Japanese. Valco, Kay and Harmony all fell by the wayside as a result.Statistics: Posted by VintAxe — Wed Apr 29, 2009 7:46 pm
