Kanda Shokai also marketed a few original designs in the late 60s including the Greco Semi-hollow 'Shrike' guitars which were imported and marketed first by Goya and later by Kustom. These guitars were made by the FujiGen and Matsumoku (and possibly Teisco ) guitar factories and were very similar to the late 1960s Ibanez guitars based on Hagström and EKO designs. In the mid/late 1960s, Kanda Shokai also exported some Greco-branded guitars based on Hagström and EKO designs for Avnet/Goya in the USA. Originally, Kanda Shokai used the 'Greco' brand name for the solid body models and used the 'Canda' brand name for its Acoustic models, basing this on the company name Kanda (Canda). It was not until 1966/1967 that Kanda Shokai began marketing Greco Telecaster-like models. Kanda Shokai was established in 1948 and the Greco brand name was started in 1960. You can do an internet search for DeSoto FEDCO numbers and serial numbers to get a general idea of how the serial numbers were arranged. On most models the serial number is also stamped on the frame near the front spring support. While two months is an unusually long delay, the system is overloaded due to the number of traffic violations. This system records the license number, color, speed, and time of any vehicle in violation of regulations. (Kazo Takada) Tickets are now automatically issued and processed by the new Detection System 7. Tokai has been a hallmark of quality products for several decades. Our company, established in 1947, is a manufacturer of electric guitars, basses and acoustics in Japan. I recently acquired a Greco SA model that had no serial number but was clearly built to a high level specification as it had fret edge binding and a flamed top and back. However, in the late 1980’s and early 90’s Greco had some of their guitars made by Tokai.
