Members WRGKMC Posted September 30, 2014 Members Share Posted September 30, 2014 It looks to be a budget build that's fairly old. It may have been something sold mail order through Sears or Montgomery ward in the late 60's early 70's. The picture quality isn't great so there aren't many revealing details other then the headstock which is going to be your main identifier.If it was a build of any quality it would at least have a sticker inside. Toy guitars rarely had marking and were designed to be throw aways which is where most wound up when kids gave up learning how to play. It may be one of the imports like Teisco or branded versions like Kay, Coral, Kiwi, Kingston, Greco, or any of a hundred others. Here's a list you can go through and try to find a picture of it. http://drowninginguitars.com/2012/02...and-name-game/I did a little looking and found many similar but none with that angled headstock. I don't think its Harmony either given the headstock.http://harmony.demont.net/images/0/H...ne_1965_01.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Surrealistic Posted October 1, 2014 Members Share Posted October 1, 2014 Might I suggest taking a few more pics - preferably bigger and better pics. Simply creating another posting with the same pic isn't really helping; you can't make out any details from that tiny pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chordite Posted October 1, 2014 Members Share Posted October 1, 2014 A well focused close-up photo of the headstock that we can run contrast enhancement on to bring out any faded lettering might helpAlso one of the "made in USA" to look at the fonts or any label decoration that people might recognize stylistically.I agree with workmac on the "Sears or Teisco" arena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members badpenguin Posted October 1, 2014 Members Share Posted October 1, 2014 What immediately comes to mind, is either EKO, CRUCIANELLI, or perhaps FRAMUS. If it's a laminate, ie: plywood, neck, then it's Framus. Hope that helps ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
