(sources: Blue Book, Michael Wright and research):
King's Stone is a brand name used by an American Importer (Elger/Hoshino) mid 60s and later. Other brands imported by the same group on the same period: Jamboree, Elger and Goldentone.
These guitars were made in Japan. Due to the partnership with Hoshino, one could think these instruments were built by the same factory that built the Ibanez guitars (Hoshino Gakki Gen, or, more probably, Hoshino's major contractor, FujiGen).
