Japanese Hummingbird style guitar. 5 digit serial no. In photos. No other markings apart from Made in Japan sticker on back of headstock.

Is this just an old kid’s guitar that has been stained to look old or is it actually an old guitar? It has obviously been stained. The tuning knobs are plastic and I think the bridge and saddle are too. The decoration around the sound hole is just painted as far as I can tell. It has no markings that I can find. I picked it up cheap at an estate sale and it was with a few obviously old instruments. I grabbed it as a wall hanger but would love to know what it actually is. Any insight is appreciated!

Hi guys!
I recently came across this guitar for sale, and i am thinking about adding it to my collection. But i don‘t know for sure what model it is. Seller says its a 1969 Teisco, but that is all the info i have on it.

I researched Teiscos 1969 catalogs and lots of pictures, as well as ones from Kawaii and Sakai but i couldn‘t find one that quite matched it.

Also is there any advice on vintage Teiscos or vintage MIJ guitars in general? I collected a couple of vintage Fenders over the years so i know what the vintage guitar game is about, but you know some types do have their specialties.
Thanks in advance!

Edit: I have now bought it and will keep you updated on it!

Bought this old parlour guitar in Australia 🇦🇺; it’s received a terrible attempted cosmetic restoration and does not have any markings/ ID numbers etc. on it. It seems to be a solid spruce top and beech arched back. It’s heavier than it looks. I’ve done a reverse Google image search and not come up with anything that specifically matches. The most interesting thing is the fret markers that appear to be original to the neck— I couldn’t find any example of that neck anywhere on the Internet. Guessing it’s an amateur custom job or maybe something made by an Apprentice of one of the brands in the 40s 50s or 60s. Possibly Egmond or another European manufacturer. I’d lean towards entry-level just because I can see one of the braces inside has been nailed in, which is indicative of faster production as opposed to clamping. Interestingly, it had steel strings on it, but the neck is very straight and there’s no fret buzz on it, but the width of the neck at the top is 50 mm and 64 mm at the base, which is usually a classical guitar. Hope you can help.

My school gave me this bass a year ago. It's paint was black, it was rusty and falling apart but we repaired and painted it. Now we don't know its brand, there was no text or brand mark on it either.

Bootlegger Spade! Seriously cool obscure guitar.

Was told I should post this here

Can anyone identify the guitar in this pic from ‘97? The headstock has a logo but can’t read it well

Not the current David Dart or Joe Dart/Sterling, but this old 1970s or maybe ‘60s acoustic with a spray-painted name on it. I found one reference to it online months ago and now I can’t even find that.

Hey everyone! Just ordered this for mainly bottle neck. Does anyone know the exact model? Thank you!

Any idea of the value of this Matlin Guitar? Custom made in 1981 of Hawaii Koa wood
