DennistheMenace Joined: Dec 29, 2007 Posts: 714 Southeast, Florida	Posted on Oct 23 2008 05:01 PM This looks like this could be a Kendrick prototype from '94-'95. They also had to abandon the "F" Headstock, because "someone" told them to . This was their 1st guitar they made when they entered into the guitar market. By the time they started making these, they had relocated the pup selector as well as a few other minor cosmetic changes closer to the bridge pup and vol and tone controls. Kendrick is better known for their Amplifiers...... — .......make the Mos' of it, .....choose the 'rite stuff! .........owner of 9 Mosrites proud owner and documented: 1963 "The Ventures" Model s/n# 0038 http://www.vintagerock4.com www.mosriteforum.com Top

dusty-hill Joined: Oct 23, 2008 Posts: 5	Posted on Oct 29 2008 04:27 AM Hi again, thanx for help, but I think it is none of the named bodys you suggested, because I think the pickguard with that typical switch position is original matching to that body. I saw it once but cannot rememder on what guitar! I think there are only changed the pick-ups. Maybe also the neck, but I think there is only the logo removed!

dusty-hill Joined: Oct 23, 2008 Posts: 5	Posted on Oct 29 2008 11:01 AM Ok, the body looks like a jagmaster one. But it was just availiable in black or sunburst (...what color is yours?). But never in surf-green! Also the shape of the headstock is different..?!? So I'm not really convinced of it all.... Top
Stormtiger Joined: Dec 12, 2006 Posts: 2687 Ventura, CA	Posted on Oct 29 2008 11:08 AM Not a Jagmaster, it has a weird cut on the top/rear of the body that is very awkward compared to a Jagmaster...probably shaved down to avoid a lawsuit. Top

So I'm not really convinced of it all.... surely it was painted and there's some mods ... but I did the work on mine and even inside cuts and holes are the same anyway ...

Fuzzmeister Joined: Jan 06, 2008 Posts: 163 Canberra, Australia	Posted on Oct 30 2008 03:45 AM Could be a Hohner JT60 An example of one is here http://www.robwesley.com/guitars/listings/Hohner%20JT-60%20Jaguar-style/ And they definitely came in Surf Green - I know so because I passed on buying one once. Now I know the Hohner headstock shape is different to the guitar in your photos, but the neck on yours may be a replacement bought from Warmoth, or Stewmac, or Pickers Parts etc - their replacement necks have no brand on the headstock. — http://www.reverbnation.com/spaceparty4 Top
tonetti Joined: Aug 20, 2008 Posts: 654 California	Posted on Oct 30 2008 09:45 AM I have been searching the internet for days, and I have finally found out what this guitar is. The only difference is they may have changed the body, neck, and guts, other than that Im 99.9% sure I have found it. With out a better discription, other than it is some nameless brand, that Guitar could be anything, Some guy may have made it in his garage, it could be a parts guitar, there is really no way of knowing what this thing is. We could go on about this for ever. Why dont you just call this place up and ask them exactly what this is? Top
JoshHeartless Joined: Jun 17, 2006 Posts: 1010 Bay City, Michigan	Posted on Oct 30 2008 11:18 AM the neck could be warmoth...definetely not a fender cut at the butt end of the fretboard. im not sure, but i believe warmoth headstocks can be VERY similar to fender... — The Tremblors on Facebook!

I guess the location of that part gave it away! But did they have those available back then? I'm guessing when the Company changed the location of the part, that's when they went into production.
