Splendor Vintage Guitar

Here is something I found in the Internet. I'd ever seen one previously and have not seen another since then. It's a Splendor guitar, made by the Hitachi guitar company I believe.

Kind of reminds me of a Herman Hermits guitar I remember them playing during their spot light of fame.

This guitar sounds real nice and has that surfer sound. Ever seen one of these? If you have one, please let me know. I bet there aren't many around.
