: hey, is there anyone who can guide or tell me about the early make of cimar guitars?
Hi There.
I bought one Cimar Strat copy back in 1977 brand new. sunburst with mapleneck. It played very nice,and had a Fender 70ties large headstock. it had a threeway pickup switch as I can recall

the picups were not the best i`ve heard, but the overall quality was just as good as a tokai or ibanez from that time period
I should never have sold it

I do remember them. In particular, I remember the 'stinger' bass and guitar series which were, roughly speaking, stratocaster and precision bass copies. If I remember correctly, Cimar was a 'budget' line made by Ibanez.

Hi,My first elect guitar was a Cimar LP juniour made in japan,good quality ,great sound,new in 1976.Played in a band with it after finishing school.Have still got it and pulled it out of the shed a couple of years ago , to me it has improved more with age . I am currently refurbishing it for my daughter.I read a few guitar mags and quite frankly im sick of hearing about old fenders ,its getting a bit like Marcia,Marcia,Marcia.We know they are a good thing but there are other great guitars around.Anyway thats my 2 cents worth,as for the history of Cimar I can't help you but I would like to Know myself ,so any info you can pass on to me if you like .Thanks . Peter.
