Tempo Electric Guitar

by Nick Caporale
(Ferndale, MI, USA)

This guitar was inherited from someone who passed away so I don't know anything about its origins... It says Tempo on the headstock but I can't find any pictures or information that matches this guitar! It has a serial number on the back, which is: T3CH6. I just want to know how much it's worth. Thanks!

Hi, Nick--

Tempo guitars are not listed in the Blue Book. This usually indicates that there is no appreciable demand by collectors for the guitars.

From what little information I could gather on the internet, these guitars were made in Japan in
the 60's and 70's and were fashioned after popular models such as the Gibson SG.

I could find no direct information as to the possible value. I did find reference to one being offered for $90.00 and one being sold for $50.00.

Sorry I could not provide more specific information.
