Unfortanatly, me being only 19, and my dad and grandparents that would of known anything about it past away about 5 and 6 years back. If you know any thing else please let me know

Howdy folks,
I have a gorgeous sounding (and looking) Emperador 12 string that was appraised 15 years ago as "a decent cheap guitar that is poorly made and will fall apart in a few years"
...I hope that guy likes barbecued crow...
Andy, I have a friend who is a guitar/bass/stringed instrument *animal* who, oddly enough, also has the last name Wiesenborn (although he may spell it differently). I'll talk to him and see what info he may have.
Cheers,

Emperador Guitar
God, these guitars have no info whatsoever. Anyways, as far as I can gather, these guitars were foreign made in the late sixties. I can find no other data on them whatsoever. I have a 6 string from 1967 that still sounds amazing, not kidding! Any help would be appreciated
Re: EMPERADOR GUITARS?
I purchased my Emperador 335 copy new in november 1969 in edmonton alberta for $275..this puts it in the same price range as a Fender Mustang etc. It was made in Japan and was considered an intemediate guitar. Mine has held up fine and is still used for live gigs on occaision..great sound! Rob

Well finally someone has found some info on emperadors! Were made in Korea and basically the brand just copied styles of other guitars like gibson, so there is no emperador style really. I also heard they were sued by Gibson, i think on this site. I hope this helps.
Re: EMPERADOR GUITARS?
I have just bought a second hand Emperador, and like you I can't find anything about them. I bought it for its excellent sound, but it looks great. I wonder if you got any info about it? Please let me know if you did, cheers Kev
Re: EMPERADOR GUITARS?
Hi my name is Charlie. I got an Emperador Les Paul Copy when I was 16 (I'm 36 now). My Mother bought it for me from
my sister's boyfriend at the time for $90. We've got some history that guitar and I . I played it in my first punk band "the Festering Sores" . Once I smashed a cupboard in half with it in a fit of rage (it's now slightly cracked around the binding as a result). I was playing an Ibanez blazer at the time my band "Planet Cake" did a film clip that got on the tele 3 times, but I used the Emperador for the clip which is now painted the colour of a Ford car (Everglades Green). I got a bone nut put in by one of Australia's most respected Guitar Makers (Greg Fryer) and he said it was a really well made instrument. I'ts sitting under my bed at the moment but I'm going to bring it back to life soon, I love my Emperador
