Not sure if I have posted about this old girl before. But seeing how things are so quiet around here I thought I might as well stick it on here anyway.

I picked this old girl up in a pawn shop in Canada about 8-10 years ago, just because it looked different to everything else around the place. It was in made Japan and I am guessing that it in the late 60s to early 70s. It's a brand that I had not heard of before or since. "SunAce" I have done all of the usual internet searches and have come up empty handed.
If anyone can fill n the blanks please do so.

:dunno: I haven't seen one of these before either Don.

Looks like a good build for the times but what a strange choice for the headstock design on this body style :toopid:
Reminiscent of my Parker:

This old lady sure brings a little bit of "blue sky" into the darkness of your tiny guitar shack, Don! :lol:
