The EH Acoustic Guitars Pt 1: The E-H Guitar
Written by The EH Man Saturday, 29 September 2007 02:27
These guitars were only available from EH for a very short time in 1974. The one piece of literature I have that mentions them compared them to higher-priced Martins. They were available through a special offer for $87.50 with the purchase of $50 or more in certain scratch-n-dent EH products. The list price was $187.50. I've known about these guitars for years and have received emails from at least 3 people who own them, including one person with a 12-string (!), but had never seen one until a gracious owner sent me pics of her guitar, which she purchased new in '74 or '75. I originally posted those pics here but I finally purchased one on Ebay a couple of years ago and would rather showcase my own collection. When I received it, I was pleasantly surprised. I expected a cheap acoustic typical of the early-mid 70's Japanese guitars and what I got instead was a very nice playing and looking guitar. Not bad for just under $100!
In response to an email, Mike had this to say about the guitars:
We didn't buy out a warehouse and put our name on them.
We bought them from Moridaira/ Morris Guitar....who at the time were the best guitar maker in Japan, making guitars for Fender and many big companies.
They put the EH on the guitars.
