Kremona Kazanlik acoustic guitar from the 1970s made in Bulgaria
guitarz.blogspot.com:
This 1970s Bulgarian-made Kremona Kazanlik is quite obviously not the finest acoustic guitar ever made. You might even call it crude, as were many Eastern European guitars from this era. But such instruments are not without their charms, even if they are essentially a box with strings on it. This particular example features a bright yellow/red burst that has been applied to the whole guitar even the fingerboard (possibly in an effort to hide the identity of the cheap and nasty timber beneath).
The seller comments that the guitar has been used on a wall as decoration. Unfortunately this might be all the guitar is good for.
Currently listed on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $49 (item located in Budapest, Hungary).

From Germany Of The 1970s - The Hoyer 50603
guitarz.blogspot.com: This 1970s German-made Hoyer 50603 has a body shape strangely reminiscent of certain Guild guitars (e.g. this one), and is one of those designs that I look at and say to myself, "Is it ugly? Is it attractive? I can't decide!"...

The Strange Story Of The Vietnam Serviceman Stratocaster
guitarz.blogspot.com: Hmmmm... There's something a little fishy about this Stratocaster listed on eBay recently. Note how it has a trem but the lack of a spring cavity on the rear makes it look like a hardtail from the behind. That trem looks to be...
