This is for sale locally, looks interesting. I might want it but want to figure out what it is first
Can someone ID this old Japanese guitar?

kawai, methinks. maybe Kent, if not.

I've been to one World's Fair, a picnic, and a rodeo, and that's the stupidest thing i ever heard come out a pair of headphones.

I was trying to figure out if it's been repainted. Finish looks old enough that the clear coat yellowed

I contacted the seller, apparently it already sold to some girl that came with a Wildwood cardboard box to pick it up.

Re: Can someone ID this old Japanese guitar?
definitely (probably) kawai, not sure if it's a refin tho because it's possible that's the original colour, but i've never seen any relatively low end ones painted in anything other than sunburst/red/redburst.
it'd probably be suuuper light but like ^ said there's probably no truss rod so you'd have to physically bend it to make any adjustments
edit: o i didnt see it'd already sold, what is a wildwood cardboard box p.s

I had a blue MIJ Kingston that had faded into those exact shades that are going on there.
It's possible it's original. Looks about right.
