Mansfield Guitars

I too would appreciate any information on Mansfield guitars. My father bought me a used model W65D acoustic about 30 years ago, as my first guitar. Still have it, and have never seen or heard of another one.
Re: Mansfield Guitars
My father also bought one about 30 years ago but the serial # and model # are missing from inside the sound hole. I have never seen another like it. It resembles the Gibson Jumbo body. Do you have pics of yours? If so could you email them? Thanks. LR

I have a Mansfield 695 and its pretty old also. I don't know much about the company that made them. If you found a website tthat has, please pass on the info.
Re: Mansfield Guitars
A friend gave me a mansfield. I play since 4 years and never heard anything about those guitars exept it sound nice. I spend 2000$ on a new electric guitar prefer playing on the mansfield classic guitar. As you I would really like to know anything about those guitars. I don't know if it's something special but I just enjoy it so much.
Re: Mansfield Guitars
now I know it's a japanese guitar, my model is C 128. A review on a SG copy is made on i dont remember wich guitar web site. The man bought his in 1973 so I guess we're not able to find any official website due to the fact that the company dosent exist anymore... I'll continue searching...
Re: Mansfield Guitars
It is very difficult to get accurate information about mansfield guitars.
I have been searching about Mansfield guitars origin for quite a while and I recently found very interesting information about this guitar brand. Mansfield was a canadian musical instrument distributor (you will note that most Mansfield owners are in Canada). The Mansfield guitars are OEM made from different musical instruments manufacturers. Recently purchased Mansfield guitars have no special interest, but in the 1970's , the Mansfield guitars were builded by Hoshino Gakki (Japan), the Ibanez makers. If you have a 1970's Mansfield, chances are that it an Ibanez with a Mansfield name on it. The Ibanez vintage guitars are highly wanted.
You can search Ibanez vintage collector websites for more information about the Ibanez story and some information about mansfield. There is no doubt that those guitars are meant to become collector's items because they are apparently the same guitars as the Ibanez vintage 1970s, except for the brand. I will try to start a Mansfield Guitars post in one of the Ibanez collector's website in order to have their historical value recognized, and maybe create a database of the Hoshino made Mansfield models. Meanwhile, take very good care of your old Mansfield guitars!!!
I have a Mansfield FJH4 (Gibson Hummingbird copy Ibanez made)
I am posting this message on all the Mansfield Guitar discussions at guitarsite.com hoping it will answer some of the questions about this brand.
