Rayner Guitar from the 1960s. Not made in Japan?


guitarz.blogspot.com:





There is very little information in the listing for this Rayner guitar. Just a phone number. I thought perhaps it was a lazy seller, but found that there is not a lot of information about these guitars. My first thought was that it was a Kawai with a different name but in some searching i found that it was quite possibly built in Ireland by Statsford.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

No matter the origins I love the look of this hollow-body beauty. I feel I've seen a similar shape in another guitar, but cannot quite place it. 

Perhaps it was just a wonderful dream.

- Silvertone Semi-hollow Form The 1960s With Slider Controls
guitarz.blogspot.com: Here is a great example of the "budget" guitars from the 1960s. This Silvertone Semi-hollow would have been purchased at Simpsons and used until you could afford a "real" guitar. I love the look of this well maintained beauty....

- Japanese-made Apollo Violin Bass With Scroll Headstock
guitarz.blogspot.com: When it comes to violin-styled basses (and guitars come to that matter) I am usually quite ambivalent in my enthusiasm for them, but I think that this Apollo violin bass is just glorious. Something about the shape and the execution...
