Anyone know anything about this ? Looks like a Guild clone of some sort right down to the G shield, with a 3 piece back !!!

In fact I seem to remember reading somewhere around here that they actually got hit with a restraining order, if not worse, for that activity.

Awww, the G is backwards!

It's not a "G". It's an unlocked padlock

Looks like the truss rod cover is right side up...

Chazmo would know for sure, but I think Cimar was a brand that was somehow associated with Ibanez in the 70's. Not equivalent with Ibanez, but appeared in Ibanez catalogs. I can't tell from the photo, but that interior label may say "Cimar by Ibanez."

A guitar for the player who can't decide between a Guild D55 (front) and a Martin D 35 (back). jm

Yeah, jm, exactly what I was going to point out. And the center piece of the back is from a different piece of wood than the other two back pieces.
