This charming vintage acoustic guitar was manufactured in Japan in the 1960s and imported by Buegeleisen & Jacobson under the “Winston” brand, likely crafted by Kawai or Teisco during their student guitar boom. With a rare 23” scale length and compact body, it’s ideal for smaller hands or collectors seeking an authentic retro look. My aunt received it for Christmas as a child.

Features a ladder-braced spruce top, tailpiece bridge, and a painted pickguard. Structurally sound with vintage wear consistent with age—scuffs, edgewear, and oxidation on the tuners. Action is moderate; playable with new strings but may benefit from setup depending on your preference.

Perfect for vintage collectors, child learners, or retro-themed decor. Stored in a smoke-free home.


33” total length, 23” nut to bridge, 11” at widest point, 3” depth. As-is vintage sale. Ships with care.
