Today, Lawman Guitars is Presenting…
A very RARE and completely original 1965 Made in Japan JVC NiVico Model SG-12 Red Balladeer Dual Pickup guitar … its in excellent condition. It includes the original Hard Shell Case and even the original whammy bar!! WOW!!! Check those pics..
We even have an original ad for these guitars posted in pic 17 thanks to our friends at Silvertone World. How cool is that. Any one read Japanese?
We just got this back from Jeff The Tech...New strings and Great action on this beautiful Made in Japan guitar. No sore fingers with this one. All the electronics are operating as they should. The dual Pickups sound awesome in this guitar. These are some of the best MIJ Pickups out there. Only a couple dings and such to keep us from calling this guitar in excellent shape. Its in really great shape for its age. One good bang on the headstock. See pic 8!
The guitar is 100% original. The mirror'd pickguard and whammy plate still look great. Even the whammy plate has NiVico stamped into it. Check pic 4. Original tuners, truss rod cover, whammy bar, knobs, wiring, original bridge, and of course that case!!!
This is not a short scale guitar. It has a standard 25 1/2 inch scale neck with a 1 11/16 inch nut. The body is only 11 1/2 inches wide but it measures 38 1/2 inches in total length. It is not a light weight. It weighs 7 lbs 4 ozs. The neck is a thick C. Not a baseball bat but a handful. It feels great in the hand! Even with my small hands.
These guitars were made by Matsumoku of Japan. They were one of the finest guitar builders of their time. They also built guitars such as Blackstone, Conrad, Kingston, Maestro, Maxitone, Univox, Venturas and many others.
Heres some info I found on the net regarding these cool guitars….
These Made in Japan guitars are well made, and sound outstanding. These have occasionally been mislabeled on the internet as RCA Victor guitars, but they are not related to RCA, as during World War II RCA America and Japan split and went their separate ways. These guitars were produced and sold for roughly two short years by JVC (Japan Victor Corporation). These guitar were also sometimes sold under the NIVICO name (Nippon Victor Corporation)
They are not a copy of any other guitar, and have a host of unique features, mostly because the electronics were made and supplied by JVC, and are of incredibly good quality, much higher than what was typically found in Japan at that time. The bodies were from the famous Matsumoku Guitar Factory in Nagano, Japan. I believe that JVC simply provided fully assembled pickguards (and what a pickguard it is! Would probably stop a bullet.) to the Matsumoku factory, who then just dropped them into the body.
Check out the original case. It was whooped when we got it. We replaced two missing latches and the handle. Cleaned it up and its ready to serve for another 60 years or so. Check those pics!!
Its cool but sold as-is no returns as its used and vintage. Thanks for respecting that.
