"Instruments previously built in Japan between 1969 and 1980. Distributed by the L.D. Heater company in Portland, OR.
The Lyle product line consisted of acoustic and acoustic/electric archtop guitars, as well as solid body electric guitars and basses. These entry level to intermediate quality guitars featured designs based on popular American models. These instruments were manufactured by the Matsumoku company, which supplied models for both the Arai (Aria, Aria Pro II) company and the early 1970s Epiphone models.
This guitar plays great has good low action, and paralle bars instead of dots.
It comes with the original case which is a mint alligator. It is as if someone put this in a closet and forgot about it for many years as it is aa 1973. The guitar is also in perfect condition. It is a real rock and roller real choky, froggy sound It was made after the Gibson super jumbo. It has humbucker pickups.
The bridge, the tuners, and all the rest of it appear to be original. There is triple binding aromg the body. Thanks for looking, good luck
