JAPANESE GOLD FOIL GUITAR COLLECTION! - $1 (Lakeview)
QR Code Link to This Post
Here is an AMAZING trio of mid-1960’s Japanese gold-foil pickup guitars! What’s so revered about these pickups? They’re characterized by scooped mids, clear bass and sparkling treble with complex microphonic harmony overtones. Players like Ry Cooder revered their extreme clarity and detail, and considered them superb for clean tones. All three of them are in incredible shape and each are as close to mint as they can get. All three guitars have been professionally set up and wiring checked prior to posting. Have a look and get your pick before these go on Reverb and eBay!
ES-70T guitar -
This is a mid-1960s vintage sunburst Zenon ES-70T guitar made in Japan at the Seisakusho factory (founded as part of Hoshino Gakki in 1962) in Japan. The electronics are rocker ON/OFF switches and volume for each pickup and a master tone. The hardware is all good quality albeit basic. The bridge is a plastic "floating bridge" with adjustment on the base plate for slight intonation changes, and the neck is bolt on maple with a bound rosewood fretboard with full 25.5" scale length.

Prestige Offset Guitar (Description is for BOTH Prestige Guitaers)
And here’s a Prestige gold foil offset guitar made in Japan at the Matsumoko factory for Teisco in the mid-1960s for St. Louis Music in the U.S. Pots and wiring are original and 100% complete, and features a hardtail. The guitar is very lightweight and well-balanced short scale guitar.

Both of these are available for local pickup, and I'm willing to ship if buyer isn't in Chicago, but buyer pays S/H. Local pickup cross streets are Belmont and Racine.
