Guyatone Stratocaster + Fender Japan ST68 MIJ N Body

Guyatone Stratcaster Replica 70's made

I have a strong impression for Guyatone products.
In 1970's. Guyatone was one of leading guitar and amplifier manufacturer here.
They were established as a furniture manufacturer. In Japanese, Furniture company is
"KAGUYA". They made the Brand name as Guya...and later they said Guyatone.

They started the guitar manufacturing in 1960's.
When I started to play the guitar, Guyatone became like amplifier manufacturer.
Well, they still made several guitars. But these were not popular except Rory Gallagher model.
They were also main suppler of effector pedal such as BOSS that time.
I remember I use their over drive.

This Guyatone strat replica is not better than early production.
Maybe, late 70's made. I never seen the small head type Guyatone strat before.
But they made it.

The neck is O.K. and truss rod is workable. It is 1P with Rose FB with 40.8mm width nut.
The truss rod adjustment is located around nut with bullet type.
It is funny but they didn't mixed the specification of vintage and 70S strat.
I'm not sure the body material. It seems to be solid wood but it is very light only
3.09 Kg weight.

Guyatone was bankrupted this Year Jan. They just ended their long history.
I suppose that many old guitar g\fan missed it.

Nowadays, young generation didn't pay attention for Guyatone guitars. They didn't know it.
However, this brand was one of historic guitar, no doubt.
