Kent electric guitar made in Japan 1960's very rare model

  

This electric guitar was made in Japan in the sixties - probably between 1967 and 1969. It looks a little like a violin bass but with offset cutaways - a fully bound body with a centre binding on the sides, and bound soundholes. The bridge is a tunr-o-matic with a wooden base and the tailpiece is a tremolo all complete, and stamped with the Kent name. The neck is bolted on and has a twenty-two fret fretboard with unusual fret markers and the headstock has the original three on a side tuners and it appears that this model did not have a truss rod cover.

The front of the body is in a light brown and shows some lacquer checking which is very minor and the back is in sunburst and is unmarked. This is an extremely rare and playable guitar and one which I have never seen before anywhere. This item is in the category "Musical Instruments & DJ Equipment\Guitars & Basses\Acoustic Guitars".
