What a great day - someone I just casually know gave me his old electric guitar as a gift! It's a Tele `72 custom-copy, sports two Humbuckers and is made in Japan. It's sounds amazingly good and has a great one-piece strat-style neck. Does someone know something about the manufacturer "Stagg"? I saw strings with that label recently, but I couldn't find something on the net.
Thanks for your help!

I don't recall ever seeing that name here in the U.S. I wonder if that was a brand name used in Europe?? I worked in a music store in 71/72 and the Japanese made guitars were the inexpensive low end models.
But, I worked with a guy in the Washington, DC area that had a cheap Japanese guitar and he loved it, even tho it was hard to fret and discorded. We finally shamed him in to buying a good Fender and he played it for about two weeks and the next gig he was back to the Japanese guitar. |

| According to Blue Book Of Guitars, The Stagg Guitar is a brand name of a UK importer. They are entry level to low quality solid body guitars that featured designs based on popular American classics. Source: Tony Bacon and Paul Day, The Guru's Guitar Guide. |

| The Stagg name has been around at least 10 years, maybe 15. You'll find their name on Fender, as well as Gibson knock-offs. Also, on microphones and earphones. I have no idea what importer builds their guitars...they might subcontract to several Asian outfits. |
