RTBF-9033443 RTBF-9033443

A rare Mosrite shape guitar from Japan. Manufactured mid to late 60's.
Sounds great and versatile because of the 3 pickups

I searched the internet for a brand and the head-stock and body of this guitar is similar to the Imperial "Burns" Japanese guitar. 

The Imperial Burns were made at the old Teisco factory after Teisco was absorbed/taken over/bought out by Kawai.  All Teisco guitars from 1967 onward were made at the Kawai factory, but the old Teisco factory continued to produce guitars into the 1970s. 

There was a music store in Tokyo owned by a company called Hara Gakki.  They carried a full line of guitars that carried the brand name….get this….BURNS!!!  That’s right, not Burns of London, but there was a Burns of Tokyo!

Other Burns (Tokyo) guitars included some Fender copies, and some semi-original designs very similar to some Noble and Norma guitars from the later 1960s.

This is a 3 pickup version.
Each pickup has a on/off switch.
Overall volume and tone.
Vintage tuners.
The original tailpiece is replaced, further on the guitar seems to be original.

Take a good look at the pictures for the cosmetic stats of this fantastic guitar.

'One of a kind' guitar, not found very often.




Good condition considering it's age
