I have a Wards Regal-made "Carson Robinson." I originally bought it for pocket change because I needed the Kluson bent tab tuners to put on a Banner Gibson which had lost its originals somewhere down the line. But I then decided the guitar deserved a new lease on life. I also have a Gibson-made Capital sold by Jenkins Music Stores. An amazing guitar.
Thing is, if you know what your are looking at you can walk away with one heck of a bargain on a great guitar. A few years ago I scored a guitar for $50 which everybody ignored thinking it was a Harmony-made "Granada". As soon as I saw the instrument, I knew it was an Oscar Schmidt "Westbrook" Stella. It was a left over instrument acquired when Harmony bought the Schmidt company and then re-badged and sold.
