Vintage 1960's Cameo Deluxe Electric Guitar Made In Korea

1960s Cameo Deluxe Solid Body Electric Guitar – Model 4010N – Natural – Vintage Import

Up for sale is a 1960s Cameo Deluxe solid body electric guitar, model 4010N (as indicated on the original sticker). This is a true vintage 6-string electric with classic mid-century styling, a natural finish, and the kind of character that modern guitars just can’t fake.

Demo video included in the listing, recorded through a Vox AC30, with additional tones using a vintage Deluxe Big Muff, so you can hear exactly how this guitar responds both clean and fuzzed out.

Condition

Overall pretty good condition for a genuine 1960s import guitar.

• The bridge pickup selector switch is a bit scratchy when switching, but once selected it’s solid with no noise or signal dropouts.
• The volume knob likely needs cleaning or minor attention; you can still dial in a usable level and play without issue.
• Neck is adjustable via truss rod, making this a much more usable vintage piece than many guitars from this era.

All quirks are typical, minor vintage maintenance items—nothing structural—and are reflected honestly here.

The Sound & Feel

This is a classic vintage sleeper. Clean through the AC30, it’s chimey, raw, and articulate. Kick on fuzz and it turns gritty and expressive, with that loose, garage-rock edge these guitars are loved for. It responds well to touch, dynamics, and attitude rather than precision.

Perfect for garage rock, surf, blues, indie, alt-country, or as a studio color guitar when you want something that doesn’t sound like everything else.

Cameo Deluxe guitars were part of the wave of affordable Asian-made electrics that helped shape early rock and garage music—simple designs, bold looks, and tones that cut through a mix. Finding one still equipped with its original tremolo and electronics is getting harder every year.

If you’re tired of relic’d reissues and want a guitar with real history and real personality, this one delivers.
