RARE Vintage '60s Lafayette Guyatone Guitar KILLER 2-TONE FINISH & VEG-A-MATIC CONTROLS! Japan JAPAN !!
  Nice Pickups - scarce type sometimes seen on early Kents, Guyatones, etc.! Needs strings and set-up Requires strings and personal setup.
CHECK OUT THAT Finish- no serious collector of '60s Japanese guitars should be without this!
WHAT A FIND!  Clearly inspired by the 'Italian School' of EKO, etc. with a killer 2-tone Gold/Mustard and dark Green finish (lacquer rather than accordion material )  and that really complicated Vegamatic control system for the pickups (everything does something - not sure what is what!!)!. Maybe a little 'Gr*tsch' thrown in for good measure - Cadillac/Toy*ta green??? No significant play wear, includes original chipboard case. Bridge cover still there - how many of us didn't even know they existed??? Missing whammy bar - assumed to be Hagstr*m bar type. Will need strings and personal set-up.

***Bottom line - has basic set-up needs but they are WELL within the ability of the average motivated 'do-it-yourself' person & not require paid services. Should be a fun and rewarding project!
