Kinor was a Japanese guitar brand produced by the Tombo guitar factory between approximately 1965 and 1970. Tombo was a short-lived Japanese manufacturer that turned out budget-priced electric guitars and basses under a roster of badged names — including Angelica, Asama, Columbus, Condor, Duke, Horugel, Montaya, Queen, Regina, Schaffer and Yamato — with Kinor among them. Like most lower-tier Japanese builders of the era, the factory shifted from original or department-store designs to Gibson-influenced copies as the late-1960s copy era took hold.

The most commonly seen Kinor instruments today are SG-style solidbody electric guitars and short-scale electric basses dating from roughly 1969–1970, often finished in cherry or amber-burst. They were sold as affordable beginner and intermediate instruments rather than pro-grade gear, and turn up on the vintage market through sellers on Reverb and similar sites. Because Tombo was absorbed by a competitor and ceased production around 1970, Kinor-branded guitars were only made for a brief window, which makes surviving examples relatively uncommon and of interest mainly to collectors of obscure MIJ vintage instruments.

Kinor has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Electric Basses and Solid Body Electric Guitars.
