Checkmate
| type | origin | year | neck | construction | headstock | zero fret | trussrod |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Taiwan/Japan | early 70's | bolt on | violin w. f-holes | reverse wave | yes | yes | |
| notes: Checkmate was an import label of the WMI corporation and the instruments were manucatured by Kawai, the former Teisco Company. While different Checkmate amplifiers were Japan made, most of the Instruments seem to have been built in an early (Kawai owned) Taiwan plant under that label! | |||||||
