I am so excited! I was at my local thrift store today. They had three guitars: A Univox, A Skylark and an Acoustic model. I trusted my instincts and purchased the Skylark for $75. The knobs are black though--so somebody has messed with it. The body looks like it is in really good shape. It is the blue one and the number is 106196. Does anybody know how many were made?

Welcome Aestelze!
They were only made in 1981 so there probably aren't that many. Either way, you can't argue with $75.
Uh, we're gonna need pics. . . :jammin:

Yes, I will post pics soon! I just don't have time at the moment. Will do it before the week is out. When I can get strings on it, I will let you know if works.

Welcome ! Nice score, and add me to the list of folks who want to see pics. :D
You can probably figure out what model you have by looking here: http://www.matsumoku.org/models/skylark ... _info.html

In any case, $75 makes it anywhere from a good deal to an amazing one! :up:
