Kingston Archtop
This one was probably under some kid's Christmas tree in the 60s. Made in Japan, loaded with old hide glue in the dovetail and a rusted steel neck reinforcement. Plywood laminate body with brass frets and original old tuners with deteriorating plastic tuner knobs. Has a surprisingly nice tailstock (I think) for such a cheap guitar.
After-market (StewMac) bridge being fitted.
