Here's a guitar that Guitarz reader R. C. Kelleher had back in the 1960s, but has no idea what it is. At a guess, and because of the slight Mosrite influence, I'd say that it looks Japanese in origin. It's the kind of guitar you'd expect to see the Kimberly brandname on, so I speculate it may have been made by Teisco.
But if you know better, please let us know!

guitarz.blogspot.com: These days I find myself increasingly drawn towards thinline hollowbody or semi-hollowbody guitars than I do to solidbodies. I think it's something about the resonance that the guitar gives when you play it; it feels somehow...
