LaBaye Guitars.

LaBaye "2X4" guitars were invented by and made for Dan Helland in the mid 1960's. They were built in a factory in Neodesha, Kansas. He named them "LaBaye" after the city he sold them in: Green Bay, Wisconsin. There appeared to be 4 models: The 6-string. The 12-string. The short-scale bass. The long-scale bass. Only about a total of 45 LaBaye guitars were ever made: 1 long-scale bass, a few short-scale basses and the rest were 6-strings. This information was from a "Vintage Guitar" article written by Michael Wright in June, 1992.
