Need some help with old guitar.

Husband got his grandfathers' guitar. Would like to find out more about it. The closest I could find is the Harmony Monterey Redburst H950. But this one says 'wizard' and is not pure acoustic. There is a printed number inside "4188H950".

Need help with saddle screws

This is the guitar I grew up with. Bought it around '93 when I was 13. I'm missing one of the screws for the bridge. But it's a weird '60's Japanese screw and it's been hard to find a match so far. Any advice on seeking this part? Can't fix the intonation without it

Unknown Japanese Guitar Factory ID?

Hey everyone I have this old Japanese guitar that I always thought was a Kent Polaris II. However I'm having second thoughts about that since all the Polaris guitars I've seen online have stop tailpieces. Mine has a floating bridge. So what's up with this thing? Anyone have any info?

Won't let me post a pic for whatever reason.

Looking for a 70’s fender bronco guitar bridge

Been trying to find one for sale for forever, all I can find are past sales, and nobody makes a new version. If you have one you’d like to sell let me know. Just putting feelers out there to try to find one :)

Help Identifying Guitar Please!

I was recently gifted this guitar. I don’t know anything about it besides that it says Noble on the headstock. Does anybody have any information like model or year it was made? I can’t find any serial numbers. Thanks.

Hey, I’ve got one too.

Didn’t know it was a Global. I found it at an estate sale, and put in new switches and a new jack. Also had to glue one of the inlays back in.
