I bought a 1967 Decca Deluxe just recently; it's pretty cool. The tremolo was partially missing (the top part with the spring and arm) so i made a new one; it doesn't work very well lol. Anywho i was wondering maybe what some info is on this guitar, i can't seem to find any.

Hey LeviMan_2001,

Your guitar was made by Kawai shortly after they bought Teisco.

Those pickups were certainly used on Heit Deluxe guitars, but the headstock, body shape and hardware say Kawai to me. sb
