The acoustic guitars were built in JAPAN,with laminated tops and sides.
Lyles were 'licensed' Copies ofGibson,they WEREN'T Seconds. īased on my research,this guitar is SUPER,SUPER RARE,as I CAN NOT find it anywhere on the internet(and that is why i have it listed as EXTREMELY RARE).Based from JEDI: Lyle guitars were imported from JAPAN(Matsumoku) in the 60's and 70's by the L.D.Heater Co. I AM a TREASURE HUNTER that searches for interesting items 'ONLY'(such as this RARELYLE GUITAR)at estate sales,yard sales,etc,etc.,to be saleED/SOLD here on. SHIPPING ONLY TO THE LOWER 48 STATES OF THE U.S.A.(at the moment).NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.ALSO.,PLEASE KNOW THAT ALL INFORMATION STATED HERE COMES FROM THE INTERNET AND THE GUITAR ITSELF.įirst of all.,I DO NOT own a store that sells any kind of musical instruments. ***** AT $ 175.00, it is worth every penny and READ INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE offerDING. * EXTREMELY RARE/VINTAGE 'LYLE Acoustic Guitar' MODEL W 430 * 3 DAY AUCTION *: if not, it still has sentimental value.* EXTREMELY RARE/VINTAGE 'LYLE Acoustic Guitar' MODEL W 430 * 3 DAY AUCTION * For Sale it'd be cool to find out this thing was worth something. : I heard Lyles are becoming more and more rare. a small sticker underneath says "place bridge here" or something to that effect. I have to have it set up everytime I change the strings (the bridge isn't fixed at all. : It's got a decent tone, not a lot of sustain. slim neck, F-Hole guitar, raised pick guard, two single coil pickups, 4 tone control nobs (two marked "T" two marked "V" for tone/volume I'm assuming), Bigsby-like tremolo, fender style top. The body looks a lot like a Gibson ES 335. It was given to me by my Grandfather who doesn't remember where he bought it or for how much. : I've got an old jazz-style Lyle that I know absolutely nothing about. It is not a lawsuit guitar.just in case anyone asks. Also, some of the Lyles's like the Dove copy, actually sound better than the original Gibson (IMHO). However, it is worth more as sentimental value if you gramps gave it to you. I have seen that model sell for as much a $350.00 on eBay.
Your guitar is probably one of the ES-335 copies (I do not know the Lyle model number). Heater techs, the guitars were fixed before they got to our music stores. Matsumoko did build some of the early 1970's Epiphone models, but was commisioned and trained by Gibson techs to build the guitars. Lyle Guitars were built in Japan from 1969 toġ980 by the Matsumoko company and were distributed in the US by L.D. Norlin was involved with Gibson Guitars from 1970-1984.
