This Kyoto acoustic guitar appears to have been inspired by the Gibson hummingbird acoustic. It has a red sunburst finish like that model, and a fancy hummingbird pickguard. Unlike the Gibson the Kyoto version has dot position markers. This guitar has an interesting looking bridge - it looks like it is height adjustable.

This step by step guide shows one way of making a guitar neck using a CNC router. The project uses this homemade router.

Dakota Guitars' acoustic designs combined traditional craftsmanship with high tech computer aided design. The guitars were made in Asia for distribution in the USA by Sound Trek Distributors of Tampa, Florida.

Shinano classical guitars were made in Japan in the 1970s (possibly in the 1960s as well). The Mitsura Shinano guitars were distributed by the Daion company.

The semi-solid Daion 555 Headhunter was loosely based on the Gibson ES-335, but had a cutaway on the bottom of the body. The body had a solid central block of maple and spruce laminate but with grooves cut into each end to increase resonance. Pickups were two humbuckers with a coil split function for each.

The Manson John Paul Jones E-Bass model is a replica of the bass that Hugh Manson made in the early 90s and has become John’s first call four-string ever since.

This Bulgarian Orfeus Bass is probably not much of a player, but I like the paint job. Although the outline looks like a Gibson 335 - these guitars had flat tops and backs.

Sante Crucianelli founded the Crucianelli accordion company in the late 1880s. During the 1960s the market for accordions was shrinking so the company started making guitars.
