Guitar
This is a pretty cool old Japanese acoustic from what I can see. It looks like a cross between a Gibson J-160e and a Fender Sonoran. The neck looks like real mahogany rather than the usual laminated strips and the top may be solid spruce - or it could be laminate - impossible to tell from a photo.
Either way this is a pretty unique guitar. The pickup and controls all look original. I can't recall ever seeing one of these before. This may have been one of the Kents sold in Canada.

I am selling a Vintage Japanese guitar that looks to be a Teisco, but could possibly be a Kent.
The guitar has a single coil magnetic pickup with a volume and tone control mounted on the body.
There is no logo to show the brand, but there is a Japanese figure inside the sound hole.
The guitar plays really good. That combined with the vintage aged wood makes for a really good sounding guitar.
All of the white trim on the guitar has aged to a really nice cream color. The tuners work well, and the frets are not worn down.
Overall, this is a great guitar, and a nice collector's piece for those of you who are interested in vintage Japanese guitars.
I know one thing: vintage Japanese guitars are my favorite. I don't want to part with this one, but times are tough, and business is business.
Let me know if you're interested, and I'll let you know where I'm at so you can come try it out and potentially buy it. Even if you don't think it looks great, you'll love it when you play it.
Personally, I think it looks great, but like I said, I like old vintage Japanese guitars. This one definitely has that classic vibe that you're sure to love.
All I'm asking is $125 because I want this to be accessible to more people, even if they don't have a lot of money to spend.
- Kent 1960's Electric 12 String In Mar Vista For $250
I've never actually seen one of these before - a Kent 12 string with a Gibson style adjustable bridge and stop tailpiece. Very unusual with the Toaster style pickups. Seller says it plays and sounds good and stays in tune with good intonation...

- Kent Hollowbody Project In Boston $150
Here's a neat little 60's Kent Hollow Body if you like to tinker and solder like I do. This guitar has one non-original pickup right now but really should have a nice vintage matched pair - or a new retro set like the GFS Retrotons. Vintage...
