Antoria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antoria was a UK guitar brand that was owned by JT Coppock Leeds Ltd. The Antoria brand goes back to the 1950s and Hank Marvin played an Antoria guitar at one time. Antoria guitars from the 1970s and early 1980s were imported from Japan and have some similarities to Ibanez guitars from the same period. JT Coppock ceased trading in the early 1980s and the Antoria guitar production ended.

The Antoria brand was purchased in January 2007 by Adam Hall Limited in Southend-on-Sea. The new Antoria guitars are manufactured in Korea.
