Anyone ever heard of this brand? I just played one. Had the dirtiest strings and it is so humid my fingers were soft. But it felt really good and was really cheap. Can’t find much info though. It is set neck.
 
Expect slightly better than Antonia/Sakura quality.
They didn’t have glued necks back in my day.
Would have been $59 new.

I’ve read this about 10 times trying to decipher it.
 
That reminds me - I haven’t bashed my bishop for ages.

I'm typing like a boomer because it's a meme in the online guitar community that boomers constantly misspell "gibson" as "gibbons" or "gibbuns"

I think your answers are right here. I have not heard of them, that means nothing. Sometimes you have to step out a little.
 
I played a £25 Shaftesbury Rickenbacker copy when I first started. Through a Jap fuzz/Wah. Linear Concord 30, 2 Fane 1x12’s.
This would have been a real upgrade.
