Reverse engineered and built to spec, Penco produced some of the closest replica's of the Martin D-28, D-41, D-45, and D-45 12 models in existence today. Some were fully solid wood, & some were laminate. Penco made Martin and Gibson style acoustic guitars. The Penco brand was of relatively high quality and part of the "copy guitar/lawsuit guitar" craze of the 1970s. The same factory (Hoshino Gakki) in Japan as the Ibanez guitars and was distributed by the Philadelphia Music Company. Penco was a brand of guitars manufactured circa 1974 to 1978 in Apparently they were made in the same factory as Ibanez.
They were both well-made and I wish I still had them both. I had a Penco dread and LEs Paul in the 70's.
