Presenting a RARE 1970s Matsumoku made Des Lauriers electric guitar from the research I have done.
DE60G Seral# 302. Suprisingly the paper stickers are still intact.
Single pickup, wrap around bridge, 21 frets, volume and tone controls, original machines and a 23 inch scale. The surface of the guitar is aged, oxidized and really cool looking. White into a nice cream color.
Many crazing lines in the Nitro finish. But overall a clean guitar.
There is a surface hairline in the headstock as shown in the photo. Its solid with fill string tension on and has been stable for years.
Excellent frets. Looks hardly played.A really surprising guitar that sounds great , plays great and looks great... PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MAKE US A REASONABLE OFFER !!!If you are here you know the history of the small short lived company. Research claims they lasted 10 years supposedly went bankrupt. From my findings 1976-86Here is another thread I found :I have 5 different Des Lauriers electrics, a soprano ukulele and a baritone ukulele. I don\'t really know too much about the brand other than they only made guitars for either three or ten years before going out of business. The earliest instruments they made were in the Matsumoku factory in Japan, and then production moved to Korea. Apparently the company shut down because the cost was too high to build the instruments compared with what they were selling them for. Sort of an instant rare collectible guitar. Not too many people know about these guitars yet because it is one of the most rare brands out there. And they play and sound amazing! The electric guitars have 7/8 size bodies/scale, so they play smooth and fast while being light, loud and full.There is a cult following for these quality guitars and people who love them never give them up.
Google them and read everything which isn\'t much !
