For a brief period of time the company produced Yamaha acoustic guitars. Kasuga produced their own house brand in Kasuga guitars. There is speculation that Iida may have assisted Moridara for a short period in making Morris badged guitars, but that is not verified. They were mainly responsible for producing acoustic and semi-acoustic rather than electric guitars for major manufacturers Ibanez and Yamaha.
Iida is still producing guitars, but mostly in their factory located in Korea. Iidi began manufacturing guitars in 1958 in Nagoya, Japan. Humming Bird made electrics that were copies of Mosrite guitars. Little-known manufacturer in operation in the early 1960s until 1968. I'm unsure at this point if this Tama had any relation to the Tama that existed under Hoshino Gakki Ten. There's some evidence that Tama began producing guitars under their own badge from 1975-1979. Tama eventually took over badged guitar production from STAR Instruments in the mid-1960s. Tama Industries began guitar production from 1962 to 1967 as a factory of Hoshino, producing more badged Ibanez guitars as well as Continental, Crest, Goldentone, Jamboree, King's Stone, Maxitone, Star, Starfield (some), Tulio and Jason. Badged guitars produced by Hoshino include Cimar, Cimar by Ibanez, Hy-Lo, Penco, Howard Hoshino Gakki were known primarily for producing Ibanez guitars during this time although that wasn't the only badged guitar they made. Yet another seller claims the badge Slendon was made by this company. A seller of the badged guitar "Splender" claims it was made by this company. I'm unsure if this company existed or not, but since many major electronics manufacturers jumped into the electric guitar market in the 1970s, it seems reasonable that Hitachi could have ventured briefly into guitar production.

Badged guitars that may have been made by Fujigen Gakki were Marlin and St. Badged guitars made by Fujigen include Antoria, Epiphone, Jason and Mann. They also produced guitars for major manufacturer Yamaha. Fujigen Gakki was the main manufacturer of choice for Greco badged guitars in the 1970 to 1980 period. It wasn't until 1970 that the company began making products for the venerable Ibanez brand, which was an unqualified success. They were known for producing high quality products, especially for the badged guitar market, which is why the company was selected by so many major American brands. The company was the largest producer of Japanese guitars during the 1960-1980 period. Fujigen Gakkiįujigen Gakki began operation in 1960 as a classical guitar manufacturer, moving into the lucurative electric guitar markets in 1962. A possible badge made by Fernandes was the oddly named Orange guitar. Fernandes produced guitars with the Burny and Nady badges as well as house brand Fernandes. It grew and became one of the largest producers of Japanese-made guitars, rivaling competitors Fujigen and Matsumoku. Daimaru appears to have gone out of business after 1980.ħ0 Songs With Hell in the Title Fernandesįernandes Guitars started production in 1969 in Osaka, Japan. Daimaruįounded in the city of Matsumoto, Japan in the early 1960s, Daimaru produced their own house brand, although they outsourced electric guitar production to Teisco during the 1970s period. Guitars made by Chushin from this period are well-made and appreciated by guitar enthusiasts worldwide. The company may have possibly made some guitars with the Aztec, Maya and Robin badges, but that is not verified. During the 1960-1980 period they were responsible for badges Bambu, Cobran, El Maya and Hisonus as well as some Charvel, Fresher and Jackson badges. I believe that Chushin may have been a member of the Matsumoto Musical Instruments Association listed further down because both companies produced Fresher guitars during different periods.with Matsumoto beginning production and Chushin ending it (perhaps because the Association was disbanded?). Chushin is still in operation today in Nagano, Japan and does business with guitar giant Fender.
