Somewhere between surf shimmer and garage chaos lives this one…
1964 Kent 650 Lido — built in Japan by Guyatone, back when the rulebook hadn’t been written yet.
Bright candy-apple red, chrome everywhere, twin single-coils, and those glorious rocker switches that feel more like launching a spaceship than selecting a pickup. This is peak mid-’60s import design—bold, slightly unpredictable, and full of personality.
These early Guyatone-built Kents weren’t trying to be Fenders or Gibsons… they were doing their own thing. And that’s exactly why they still hit different today:
• Snappy, gritty single-coil bite
• Super vibey trem for wobble and warble
• A control layout that invites experimentation (and a little chaos)
It’s not pristine. It’s not polite.
It’s alive.
If you’ve been chasing something with real character—and a look that stops you in your tracks—this is it.
