Here's another Reverb sale that's similar-but not the same-as your guitar. In a twist from the norm, I think that Reverb price might be a little low (maybe, might) from what the market would bear.Īnd here's that Decca DMI 231/203 model for sale: Only trouble is, it isn't identified either: Now I did find a very close match to yours, but the pickups are a different model, as is the tailpiece. Usually with these 1960's Japanese guitars, the model number has something to do with the number of pickups, some I tried searching both "DMI 241", and "DMI 204", but that didn't get me anywhere. ![]() Now here's some period ad-art for a Decca guitar which appears to be the same as the "DMI 231", but is listed as "DMI 203", so I have a feeling that someone has messed up in their identification at some point, and then others have repeated the error: Next read up about Decca guitars here (important to note is that one example in that article was made by the guitar manufacturer "Kawai", which is sometimes "Teisco Kawai"): This Decca has only three pickups, to your four, and you have three control-knobs, to it's four knobs. If I knew what your headstock looked like, I might be able to claim a match for that, as well. The finish and the bridge/tailpiece hardware is the same as your guitar. The body is the same shape, and it has a metal pickguard that is the same shape as your guitar. You need to notice a few things about it. A headstock pic will go a long way toward positive identification (even if it doesn't say anything).įirst-off, here is a Decca model DMI 231: ![]() I'm flying a little bit blind because I can't see the headstock of your guitar. Okay, by the time I'm finished with you, you're going to be sorry you asked.
