I happened to come across a kingston guitar and I only recently found it might be something valuable.

As you can see it is missing strings and bridge. I'm currently separated from any amps so I haven't yet had a chance to plug it in and see if it's in working shape. The tone knob looks like it's been hit hard since it's bent at an angle so I'm not sure if it still works.
Apart from that it's just got a lot of cosmetic problems, many dings and scratches.


I can't seem to find this particular one anywhere. All I could find was the same guitar in an ebay auction and it didn't seem like it was going for much.

I don't really know much about fixing guitars but I figured this might be something a collector would want to restore so I just wanted to know what I could make it selling as-is.

Any help?

Hi Benjininja,

You have a late 1960's Kawai. Given it's condition I think $125 - $175 is the best you can hope for. sb
