Vintage Japanese Solid Body Heit Deluxe Guitar
Own a piece of rock and roll history!

You may have even had one of these short scale rockers as a kid or relatives who started playing on something similar.

Appears to have Original Tuners, Pickups, Pick Guard, Switches, Bridge

New strings, added ground to bridge, foil lined cavity reduced noise.

Bolt-on neck re-shimmed (MIJ sticker removed at some point)

Condition listed as "good", this guitar has been played by me recently and over many years.

Wear including scratches, scuffs, a few nicks consistent with used 60 year old instrument.

Based upon search this guitar was most likely made by Kawai in the mid-60's, marketed/labeled under various names including Heit & Decca Records.
