Nipped into a local guitar shop today and came across a Cimar branded MIJ Guild copy.
I was immediately attracted to the (apparently Alder slab) body and the pickup's are genuinely little beasts, only issues that I could see in the short time I was in was the tuners looking a little dated but they did hold well.
Any of you have experience with these? I'm not very experienced with 70/80s Japanese clones.

Re: Cimar Guild Clone Deets?
No direct experience with Cimar stuff but from what I know it falls under the lower-end of mij stuff from the 70s. I wouldn't necessarily buy one sight unseen, but if you've tried it and like it, I'd say go for it, depending on how much they're asking - I probably wouldn't go higher than $250-275ish.

Re: Cimar Guild Clone Deets?
Yeah, I've played stuff like that in shops before. Nothing wrong with stuff like that. It's decent quality.
If you like it, get it (as long as it's not too pricey). I wouldn't worry about the tuners too much. If they hold tune, they hold tune.
