My guitarist just picked up a Penco dread that is obviously a Guild clone. With that said, this thing blows me away!! It's one of those astonishing Japanese products from the 70's. The pickguard, headstock shape, and neck-joint are almost identical to Guild stuff. Not to mention the TRC is pretty much the same too just that it has 3 screws instead of 2.
Tone and playability is beyond belief. If you close your eyes you'd swear you're playing a vintage Guild. One of the sweetest dreads I've ever had the privilege of playing.
Anyone else ever hear of these or have personal experience with them?
Here are some photos:
