Korean Redburst

[Dan M]

Here's a nice little cheapy guitar I found at a boot sale. A bit of a plank but quite loveable.

Hi Dan,

Are you sure this guitar is Korean? It's got that 60's Japanese look to me. I'll look around and see if I can get an ID. Let me know if it's marked. sb

That was the first thing I thought when I saw it but it has a made in Korea silver sticker on the back of it.

I like this one too, and your new Starway. I agree with VintAxe that it looks like 60s Japanese, but since it's Korean, it may be early Samick. There were other early Korean guitar makers too.

it has the kawai feel to me, stringguide ,tuners and tremelo were common on kawai's, and also the redburst was a popular colour at that time on japanese guitars.
but the pu's are different, possible it's a early samick.

Idont know, you may want to visit a www.teiscotwangers.com for teiscos(japanese) . They have a page full of pictures of every teisco model. It really does look like one of theres. (sorry, this whole teisco guitars research is my new passion.)

But if you say it has a made in korea tag, your best bet is to google search. I did try to find guitars under the Kawai company, but everytime I search on line, all I can find is there keyboards and etc. but no guitars.

I may try a yahoo search later to find out , just because thats something I would also like to know .
