Once I looked at an guitar in an vintage shop here in Sweden. I was planning to but an new (old) guitar. I found this Kent with scroll cutaways. Sadly the neck had been broken and the price was way to high. But I havent found any information about it since then...
Any ideas?

There's information out there about Kent guitars. I believe some were made by Teisco. I think there's also a connection between Kent and Hagstrom guitars.

I own two Kent guitars, both are OK inexpensive guitars. I have some friends who own Kents also.

Look for references to Kent guitars here:

For a nominal fee you can get access to som Kent guitar catalogs here on the Vintaxe site:
