Members Espresso70 Posted January 21, 2010 Members Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hey,Does anyone know the model of this guitar- it kind of came to me by chance and I am trying to find out what guitar it is- as near as I can tell it is a Silvertone from the early 70's possibly made by Kawai. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike Fiasco Posted January 21, 2010 Members Share Posted January 21, 2010 The round badge is probably the old Sears logo. Kind of an atomic symbol looking thing? That makes me think Silvertone, and you're probably right that it was made by Kawai. I see them around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Espresso70 Posted January 21, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 21, 2010 I'm having a hell of a time finding out the name of the model- on-line searches haven't even yielded a picture. Does anyone know of a good research source for japanese made guitars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 's mel gibson Posted January 21, 2010 Members Share Posted January 21, 2010 Here in Canada during the early 60's that guitar brand may have been called "Canora". It's the pups that I recognize the most. That round badge is sort of like the Teisco Del Ray logo. Teisco's were fancy looking but, some seemed to have poorly placed bridges and other faults. There were other names like 'Pan' which put out really poor copies of ES 335's and Ric's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RDub_ Posted January 21, 2010 Members Share Posted January 21, 2010 Looks a lot like my buddy's silvertone but the logo is diff. a silvertone clone of some kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vendor Defendor Posted January 21, 2010 Members Share Posted January 21, 2010 That looks like a guitar that I remember in a book of electric guitars I have at home called 'Domino' but I think the logo is all wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members volvo1800 Posted January 21, 2010 Members Share Posted January 21, 2010 Guys guys guys, Its an early 70's department store guitar by the Kawai company. Most likely sold at Sears. The badge isnt important on that beast, as it was probably badged several different ways across the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
