I anyone familar with Kent guitars?? I have one that is a very well made copy of the Fender telecaster. My aunt bought this guitar new in 1967. It is blue with a very good neck and no fret wear. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks J.D.

MIJ and/or MIK beginning in the early 60's thought to be made by Teisco or Guyatone. Kent was a badge for US distribution, not a builder in their own right.

The brand was produced by Hagstrom as well beginning in the later 60's - early 70's (I think) and the quality got a big boost accordingly. They can be very nice instruments as that goes, a number of acoustic models were badged Kent as well. Saw a hollowbody in a shop once getting a setup and by all appearances it looked to be an excellent quality guit.

Post some pictures if you can or a link to an online album. :up:
