Vintage Hy-Lo Model 642 12-string acoustic guitar, made in Japan, with fitted hard case. This is a cool and unusual vintage MIJ 12-string with distinctive floral pickguard styling, slotted-free paddle headstock, tailpiece setup, and the kind of funky old-school look that stands out from the usual vintage imports.

The interior label identifies it as Hy-Lo Model No. 642 and Made in Japan. This is a niche vintage Japanese acoustic that should appeal to buyers who like lesser-seen MIJ brands, unusual folk-era styling, and affordable vintage 12-strings with character.

It will be packed and shipped carefully.
