Harry had a post-war band called Rudy Wayne and the.somethings, anyway, you see where the name Wayne came from, his stage name. The Wayne Company was founded by Harry West and his son Sid in Melbourne. I wonder if Korea was considered OK due to anti-Japanese sentiment here in the 1960`s? I think the early Wayne/Takamines have no mention of country of origin. Hi Peter, I`m unsure why your guitar has a Made in Korea sticker, Takamine guitars are Japanese. Perhaps you could assist me in locating a suitable bridge Bruce? Regards, Peter.

I have been trying to find a seven inch + ready made bridge or have a go at making one up appears 6" plus bridges are all the go now. The bridge has been snapped and patrially broken away then unsucsessfully repaired using an epoxy? adhesive then broken away again, or so it appears. The guitar is a classical nylon, generally in very good condition, except for the attempted repair of the bridge. The model of the guitar is listed just below the mountain and given as model W-30. label on the headstock) and that the instrument was made expressly for the Wayne Music and Electrical Co. There is no reference given as to city or provence where the guitar was made only, that it was made in Korea (indicated by a gold coloured 15mm x 20 mm apx. The word concience (sic) is misspelt and there is the drawing of a rather more precipitous mountain than Fuji on the label as well. Yes the label is slightly yellow and almost of new appearance. They stayed with him until his death in 1937 during the Spanish civil war. In 1926, Esteso’s nephew Faustino Conde joined the workshop of Domingo Esteso as did Mariano Conde in 1929. Later on in 1917 Domingo Esteso openend his own workshop at calle Gravina 7 together with his wife Nicolasa Salamanca who applied the finish to the guitars. In the 1890s, he began as an apprentice in the shop of Manuel Ramirez in Madrid, working along side such great Spanish luthiers as Santos Hernandez and Modesto Borreguero. Domingo Esteso Lopez, born in San Clemente in the province of Cuenca in 1882, is one the most famous and respected classical and flamenco guitar makers of the early 20th century.

Edge binding, back center striping and heal lamination is very similar to Rodriguez Guitars, being all simple contrasting wood. Tuning machines are identical to current Schaller LGO 1 553 Classical Guitar Machine Head Lyra - Gold, with the exception of some of the engraving, so these could be copies or just an older version. The construction of the instrument features blocked linings at the intersection of the top and sides and solid wood (unblocked) linings at the intersection of the back and sides. The headstock has rosewood veneer and very closely resembles an Jose Ramirez SPR-A SP/IR Classical Guitar. (I have or have owned a number of Brazilian rosewood and East Indian rosewood instruments and so believe I know the difference between laminate and solid, but could be wrong.) The top is most probably solid cedar, but is translucent, at least in places, so it might be spruce. The back and sides are almost definitely solid Brazilian rosewood, because some grain features appear on both the inside and the outside of the back and sides. The stacking of the heal is matched to the color of the sides including near perfect grain matching either by wood type or staining. The fretboard appears to be ebony, the neck is mahogany with an ebony reinforcement strip and stacked heal. The instrument has the original case and both the guitar and the case are in near perfect condition. Would like to know more about who made it, when it was made, what woods it is made of and what it is worth, of course. Purchased this instrument in 1978 or early 1979 in Bremen, Germany.
