1968 Guyatone Saturn

guitarz.blogspot.com:

With its exaggerated offset body horns, four pickups, and an almost bewildering array of control knobs and switches - including a volume for each pickup and a single tone - this Guyatone-made Saturn guitar is certainly an eye-catching example of 1960s Japanese guitar-making.

The Saturn brand was, according to the eBay listing, sold through the Canadian catalogue Eaton's.

This is a nice example of this guitar from 1968. There is some cracking in the pickguard around the 3rd pickup and apparently the tremolo is not original (although you'd never know it).
