Bruce I'm not sure if I'm replying in the right place because I'm new at this whole talking/writing posts etc so forgive my being all over the place if I'm NOT in the right area.

Whoa! That's pretty serious money! Yep, that's an Australian made Wayne guitar, I think there is a Wayne resonator guitar on display at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney - never seen it.
Can't help with other brands, just gathered this information when I tried to find out what the conection was between Takamine and Wayne.
Strangely, some Wayne guitars had a 'Made in Korea' sticker on the headstock but the mountain label - I don't think Takamine had a Korea plant back then, they weren't even exporting to the USA.

Bruce would you happen to know anything about 'Tempo' electric guitars. Ive had one for about a year but cant find one thing out about them. I'd love to post a pic but dont know how. I'll give you more details if you do know anything but its pt away at the moment and I dont want to dig it out if theres no reason to. Cheers.

Hi. Have just found you info on Wayne guitars
Have a WJ -79 acoustic. This has the Wayne on the headstock with the label as described - no mention of being made overseas and with the spelling mistake.

No sure if this is earlier or later than a D-50

Your thoughts appreciated
Regards
Paul

I can't really tell you much more about them.
They are Takamine guitars.
Not really collectable or highly valuable here.
Play it and enjoy it!
