In the 60's they imported guitars from Japan. C. Bruno is probably better known for importing the Ventura brand. As well as, for being bought out by the Kaman Company in 1971. Who could forget the Martin knock-offs?
Also, the Barney Kessel Guitorgan or Epi/Aria inspired hollow bodies, the violin, and classic shape designs. They were probably more of the post1971 era, after the Kaman Company took over.


AGC's man in the field stumbled upon a lesser-known Surf Shaped Bruno model oddball recently. After searching endlessly, nothing has come up on this particular model (the Royal Artist LG135 T) with 3 pick ups.
The neck pick up rotates by hand. Where one can position it in any way they so desire. |
And the banana head is something reminiscent of a Schwinn or Huffy. |
The only similar info that seems to pop up is The Guyatone LG120T.
It seems to have a few more variations upon the design.
Which might make one think: what came first the chicken or the egg?
