1960s Made In Japan Inter-Mark guitar

guitarz.blogspot.com:

The seller wonders if the neck and body on the above-pictured 1960s Japanese guitar are mismatched because the colours don't quite match, but note that the finish has faded - and there's no rule to say that it has to fade consistently. Yes, it's certainly an Inter-Mark headstock, but the body looks like no Teisco I've seen. My guess would be the whole guitar is an Inter-Mark.

Has anyone out there seen another like this, or maybe know what the model is?

Whatever it is, it's currently listed on eBay with a Buy It Now price of $399.

Inter-Mark Cipher

guitarz.blogspot.com:

This, apparently is a rare 1960s Inter-Mark Cipher guitar. I know nothing about it, and have not previously heard of the brand, which may be meaningless anyway seeing as so many guitars in the 1960s and beyond were re-badged depending on what stores they were being sold in. It could be Japanese, but to my eyes it has an Eastern European look to it.

If anyone knows any more or can identify this guitar, please let us know!

(My Rare Guitars has a 1970s semi-hollowbody Inter-Markguitar from Japan, but that doesn't necessarily mean to say that the above pictured guitar is also Japanese, especially if Inter-Mark were a brandname rather than an actual manufacturer).
