Re: Help me to identify my MIJ sg !!!

Many Japanese guitars from that period ('60s and '70s) were branded under different names for different reasons, usually depending on the country where they would be sold. For example, '70s Fujigen Icemans were brandend as Greco for Japan and Ibanez for America.

I think it's really hard to accurately tell which brand was in your guitar's headstock. It could be "Marlin", or "Lyle", or something else, but at the end it was made in the same factory.


Anyway, that guitar looks really cool! I like the way those pickups look, kinda mini humbucker-ish.

I have seen that same guitar labeled as a Bellwood (or maybe Belwood). But Cheap Japanese guitars can be difficult to pin down. They were sold under many different names, and were constantly changing specs. And often the original brand names were stick on plastic or metal plates that easily fell off. Your biggest clue may be the Hofner-style "sideways staple" pickups.

Brand names such as Kay, Kimbara, Satellite or Teisco all spring to mind. The vibrato tailpiece is highly distinctive. It could be your best clue to the guitar's exact identity.

Kay was not a Japanese company.

I've also seen them with the Coronet logo,Waza.
Canora was a Lamberti Bros. brand name which ranged from utter crap from the early 60's to some quite reasonable stuff out of Matsumoku in the 80's.
