I was looking for a guitar for cheap when I first started playing, so I went to every site and store. I didn't find anything so i started asking family members,and not one of them had anything except one of my mother's old friends. He didn't ask any money for it, just that I play it and treat it with respect and I fell in love with it the minute i saw it. I will always remember this man for his generosity and giving me what i believe to be the perfect guitar for me.

Well i want to say everything,but I guess I should be more specific. The sound from the guitar is amazing even after all these years it is in amzing condition. The sound i think is so different from most guitars that i have played i think because it is a semi-hollow body but has no f-holes. It has a Les Paul body and the looks of a Gibson. I think my favorite part though would have to be the dual closed humbucker pickups. They deliver a crisp,clean,and plain out astounding tone. I am not sure on the type of wood used for the body,but the fret board i am sure is ebony with white marble inlays on every other fret, making for it easy for navigation across the fret board and for a nice look.

The only thing i found that i didn't like is how the unit is not labeled well. I can't find a model number or name on it anywhere. I have looked inside and out and not found a thing on its name, date of manufacture, or a model number.

As I said before it is a semi-hollow bodied guitar but does not have any f-holes. I am not sure of the wood used for the body but the fret board is ebony with white marble inlays on every other fret, making for it easy for navigation across the fret board and for a nice look. The guitar has a dark tobacco sunburst finish and dual closed humbucker pickups. The sound is amazing and better than any other guitar i have played. It stays in tune well and delivers a crisp sound through any amp.

From what I know it is from the late 1970's and the company is no longer manufacturing guitars or any type of merchandise and I would also like to find out more about the company and anything concerning it.If you have any information on it, please post.
