Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com:
Look at the upper horn on this awesome Japanese guitar. I'm not sure I've seen this model before.
Someone has looked after this guitar quite well. It has a few marks on the finish, but no noticeable dings or gouges. Sporting 3 gold foil pickups, mini switches, and an intact tremolo, it's hard not to message the seller right now and ask if they would consider shipping.
If I had to hazard a guess I'd say it was a Kawai or perhaps Guyatone.
Thoughts?
Update: I went to check the sale again and I guess someone loved it as much as I did, as the guitar is no longer listed.

guitarz.blogspot.com: This 1960s Japanese "Silvertone model 14409" guitar (made by Kawai possibly?) has some very strong Mosrite stylistic influences, although that proto-Ibanez-style headstock does look a little at odds with the body design. Despite...
- 1980s Esp Hybrid I Telecaster/stratocaster Crossbreed Guitar In Shell Pink
guitarz.blogspot.com: This ESP Hybrid I guitar from the 1980s is a Strat/Tele hybrid. It's essentially Tele parts on a Strat body, plus a Strat-like tremolo with a David Gilmore-sized arm. (Not that Gilmore is short, I'm talking about his preference...
