![]() ![]() I cleaned it up and found it was actually in pretty good shape for being made in the 70's and stored in an attic without a case! After replacing the pots, switch and jack, and installing a bone nut, it turned out to be a very good sounding guitar! The original pickups seem to say "Matsu" or something on the back of them. ![]() A few days later he hands me a filthy, non-working copy of a Gibby 335. He said he had an electric guitar in his attic, and I could have it if I wanted it. A buddy at work was moving into a smaller place, and I was helping him move. So school me! Post your Penco guitar photo's, and drop some knowledge on us if you care to! There is no neck separation at the body, the truss rod works fine, the tuners have been upgraded but the new holes aren't ugly. It has the expected dings, and wear for its age, but is a nice survivor. I don't even know much about these guitars, other than they were decent quality Japanese copies of Gibson, Fender (and other?) guitars. Here is a vintage 'Made In Japan' Penco acoustic guitar that is still in very nice cosmetic and playing condition. There seems to be just about everything else! So I'm home from work today, just sitting around letting my foot heal up, with basically nothing else to do except address these critically important issues. I searched the guitar owners clubs and was surprised to find nothing on Penco guitars.
