The Welson company produced medium quality guitars based on Gibson designs, as well as their own original designs and semi-hollowbody models. Welson guitars were built by Quagliardi, as well as possibly the Polverni Brothers. Welson also built guitars for the Vox company, and for Wurlitzer (U.S.) Source: Tony Bacon and Paul Day, The Guru's Guitar Guide.
