1960's Norma EG 408-2TK Electric Guitar

This is a Norma model EG-405-2 Electric Guitar from the 1960's with 2 goldfoil pickups. The prize on this guitar is the goldfoil pickups and I've already used them for another project.

NORMA HISTORY: Normas were built in Japan between 1965 to 1970 by the Tombo Company and distributed in the U.S. by Strum´N Drum, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois. The company specialized in copying Italian guitars like EKO and Goya and sold them in the U.S.A as NORMA's. The most blatant EKO copy is the SDEG 490-4, a guitar that confused the heck out of MANY. The Tombo Company is still in business, but these days they specialize in harmonica production.

I've seen that model and with 1 of the goldfoil pickups I'd estimate it at $75-100 in typical 40 year old condition.

Hi, I have a guitar that I believe is a Norma. On the back it is stamped EG305-1L NO. 410. Can you tell me anything about this? It has a single coil pickup in really good condition. On the back it also says Japan.
