* A guitar played by Jon is known as "'''Zim-Gar'''" guitar.

−
: It seems almost same as [http://guitarz.blogspot.com/2010/01/st-george-branded-vintage-japanese.html St. George EJ-2-T] or [http://drowninginguitars.com/2012/05/27/1965-palmer-matsumoku-japanese-guitar/ 1965 Palmer/Tempo guitar (possibly by Matsumoku)]

The guitar played by Jon is known to be "'''Zim-Gar'''" guitar.
−
: and later reissued as "[[:File:Ibanez JTK1 Jet King Guitar.jpg|Ibanez Jet King JTK1]]" (c.2002).
+
* [http://drowninginguitars.com/2012/05/27/1965-palmer-matsumoku-japanese-guitar/ 1965 Palmer/Tempo guitar (by Matsumoku)] seems basically same as Jon's Zim-Gar. Note that Matsumoku had subcontracted with FujiGen for supplying wood parts, during almost 1963-1966.
−
: Similar models were also sold as "[http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/oceanbeauty1982/28198080.html Guyatone LG-65T]" (1963-?) and "[[:File:Teisco MJ-2L.jpg|Teisco MJ-2L]]" (c.1965),
+
* [http://guitarz.blogspot.com/2010/01/st-george-branded-vintage-japanese.html St. George EJ-2-T (probably by FujiGen)] and [http://www.geocities.jp/guitarofworld/DemianCatalog1964.11.jpg 1964 Demian guitars (FujiGen's own export brand)], ''etc.'' had already almost same design except for smart left horn. FujiGen's model may be the origin of later reissued [[:File:Ibanez JTK1 Jet King Guitar.jpg|Ibanez Jet King JTK1]]" (c.2002). Note that FujiGen had subcontracted with Teisco for manufacturing several Teisco models (ex. EB-1, etc), during early-mid 1960s.

+
* [[:File:Teisco MJ-2L.jpg|Teisco MJ-2L]] (c.1965) seems another variant, although the left cutaway resembles more deep than above two models.

+
* [http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/oceanbeauty1982/28198080.html Guyatone LG-65T] (1963-?) may be possibly the origin of above three models; although body shape and pickguard are slightly different, the release year seems slightly predated. Note that Guyatone had relied on Teisco for several part of guitar manufacturing in 1960s, while Guyatone had provided several models to Hoshino Gakki/Ibanez.
