Hi there,

 

I just bought an Egmont acoutic guitar. My seller told me it is from the ending 50's or beginning 60's. But the only fact, I found out about Egmont, is that is a dutch company. Does anyone know something else about this product or where to find some further infos?

 

Thanks

Oh, wow...I owned that very model (or a very similar one) back about 1970...

 

Basically, Holland's answer to Harmony/Kay...Sold through S.G. Kresges dept. store (I think these later became the 1st K-Marts, btw)...cost $42 brand new, laminated pressed tops and back, laminated sides, baseball bat neck (that's still straight) w/ a "zero fret", surprisingly decent tone. I later installed a DeArmond "Gold-tone" P/U and studied jazz w/ it.

 

Gave it to a buddy's kid many years ago...he still has it and it still plays decently. :)
