Japanese Made Burns Clone - Very Nice!

[Spud1950]

Here's a very nice guitar in fine shape. This seller comes
up with cool old guitars,mostly the '60s Japanese stuff. All his auctions include a video of the guitar being played. Sometimes he'll have quite a few guitars for sale,and sometimes he won't have anything for awhile. It's worth bookmarking the site so you check up every now and then to see what he's got.

One glaring error, of course, is that there is no "Greco/Ibanez" factory. Ibanez is a brand owned by Hoshino, and they have their guitars made by Fujigen (or Fuju Gen) Gakki. They DID make their own guitars before 1966, but I don't think this one is that old.

I've put a message on the Ibanez Collector's World site. They'll know all the specifics!

And I have gotten a reply:



But here's the gist of what he said. There is not and never was an "Ibanez/Greco" factory. Both were customers of Fugi Gen Gakki from the 70's. The factory this older guitar came from was probably Guyatone.
