RP: What kind of guitar is this? Curious

[Nu Fuzz 78]

I got this no name guitar at a pawn shop years ago and I'm curious about what it might be. I've scoured the Internet for information and have turned up nothing in regards to who made it. Any information would be appreciated.

I swapped the middle pickup for a lipstick tube several years after I got it. Also, the vibrato bar was missing when I bought it. Other than that it's pretty much stock to the best of my knowledge.

Sorry Nu Fuzz 78. There is something happening at the time you create the post that is keeping the tags from functioning.

There have been a couple of members in the past that have had the same issue but I have no idea what causes the problem.

Are you using an up to date browser?

Here you go.








I agree,a Kawai made guitar.

[Nu Fuzz 78]

Thanks. Just curious about the date though given it's made in Korea. Was Kawai making guitars in Korea back in 65? Curious.

[VintAxe]

No, Kawai is a Japanese company. Your guitar was made in Japan around 1965.

The only reason I bring it up is because it has a Made in Korea sticker.
