Aquire a few oldies.. Any help on worth?

[noideahow]

Got a few guitars.. Just wondering about rarity and possibly what they are worth.

One is a LYS 12-string guitar L25-12 from 1981.
One is a Saturn violin shaped guitar (same one in Lump video by presidents of the United states of america)
And one is a Diastone Resonator.. Can't find a model number anywhere.

I've uploaded a picture of each..
The Saturn is having the fretboard fixed so it's not in the picture. And I do have the whammy bar.

Maybe someone would know more about these guitars than what I've read online. Which was very vague.

The Green Violin guitar is most likely a Kawai although there is a very similar Teisco model. The pickups, pickguard, bridge and tailpiece are slightly different between the two as you can see in the pictures below. The guitar was supposedly only produced in 1968 so it is somewhat rare and Kawai bought Teisco in 1967 so its a pretty foggy point in history to try to pin down exactly who made it. Its likely that Kawai made the bodies and different hardware was put on and sold as different brands.

Here are some articles with pictures I came across on the Violin guitar

Here is a Japanese violin guitar on ebay that might help give you an idea of current market value.
