Jandira Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 They was an earlier post on here wanting some info on this guitar. I have this guitar, however there seems to be some inquiry as to what the the brand is. I was told Gibson, It is a great sounding guitar, however, I don't believe Sears made them? The earlier post was wondering if there were pics. Here they are. Thanks in advance for any info on the brand of this guitar. Model number is 26149.

dhanners623 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 More knowledgeable people can correct me if I'm wrong, but I doubt Gibson had anything to do with it. Simpsons was a Canadian department store chain associated with Sears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpsons was a Canadian department store chain associated with Sears. Plus, it says made in Japan on the label. The headstock is Gibson in shape. The body isn't. The string-through bridge looks like it could be used either for steel or nylon strings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) Sears Simpson LTD guitars were sold in Canada only. At some point Sears had forged a partnership with the company and so began to carry their line of guitars. I do not know who made the guitars for the Simpson Company but I can safely say it was not Gibson.

slimt Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 That headstock style is of a Kent model guitar. The body reminds of the japan made silvertones , Be amazed at how many makers used the Gibson headstock shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsegui Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Japanese made budget guitar for the Canadian Simpson’s store. Nothing to do with Gibson at all. I remember shopping at Simpsons when I was a kid with my mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
