The stamp says "Made in Japan" .. I've heard that in the 60's eleki
(surf) got really big in Japan and that the Japanese made all sorts
of weird surf guitars and LOTs of them. I've always assumed that
this was a product of that.. but that's interesting that it was made
to be imported to the US. Perhaps it was manufactured by Tiesco for
Imperial or something.
Thanks everybody, all interesting to know.
