Kimberly is a budget-tier instrument brand that was applied as a rebadge name to guitars, basses, and amplifiers sold primarily through American retail catalogs. The earliest Kimberly-branded instruments were Japanese-made electrics, acoustics, and basses produced in the 1960s and early 1970s by Kawai/Teisco and imported by Limmco, Inc. for distribution through the Lafayette Radio Electronics catalog. The same underlying instruments from this era turned up under other store brands such as Sekova and Clear Sound, which is typical of the period's house-brand market.

The Kimberly catalog covered a wide range of beginner and student-level gear, including electric guitars, acoustic and classical guitars, electric basses, banjos, mandolins, and solid-state amplifiers. Among the more recognizable vintage pieces are the 1960s Kimberly violin bass (a Höfner-inspired hollowbody) and Teisco-built solidbodies with multi-pickup configurations. In the 1990s and 2000s the Kimberly name was revived by the Korean Kimex Trading Company, which used it on Korean- and Chinese-made guitars and basses oriented toward entry-level and student players, often modeled on classic American designs.

Kimberly is not a manufacturer in its own right and has no active corporate presence; the name functions as a label tied to whichever importer or trading company licensed it. Vintage 1960s Japanese-made Kimberly instruments have a small but steady following among collectors of off-brand 'Teisco-era' guitars, where they're valued more for character and quirky design than for build refinement.
