A funny name for a Guitar, that's what i thought when my father gave it to me. He bought it from a close friend of hizzz.. I know a lot of branded guitars such as fender, yamaha, gretsch, epiphone, washburn, ibanez, gibson, etc... but never did i bump to such brand of guitar called "BOZO" (the clown)tsktsk.. As funny as it sounds, i browsed into the web and goggled it and here's what i found out:

Bozo Podunanvac - Bozo Guitars

Hmm.. the price ain't funny afterall.tsktsk.

here are some photos of the simple looking Vintage Bell Western Abalone Top Guitar that I have:







I was thinking of auctioning this Collector's Item. That is if there is any Guitar Collectors here in the Philippines who would want to go for a Bozo Podunanvac's Piece..

For the 2006 pricing it's roughly around $6,500, that would be around 300k..

This is not the BOZO that costs $3K-6K. This is an asian made BOZO, made in Japan. I've seen a lot of these kind of guitars sa mga Japan surplus shop.

@ rata: she's lucky to own one..

@ walrus: well, tell me more about it. I couldn't get to tell if this is made from japan or if it came from bozo pod shop itself. I couldn't find the stamp nor the serial number for this w/c supposedly could be found for japan made bozo. If it is made from Japan, I believe the price wouldn't go as low as 30k anywayz, since they are still under license to produce Bozo guitars. They pay much attention to details with regards to quality, craftsmanship and materials used to produce such great instrument. Nonetheless, I couldn't find any info about the prices for Japan made Bozo. If you find one pls. do let me know..
