As you can see it's not actually a bad looking instrument.
Of course it's a different story close up! Both pickups are set about a 1/32-1/16" too far towards the treble side of the guitar...
The binding on the neck could be a bit better, but I have to admit it is a nice touch on an instrument this cheap.
Obvious plywood is obvious...
Headstock and logo, the logo will be lost when I do the refin, the dodgy bits around the top are actually damage rather than poor workmanship.
The action was really high when I got it, the bridge is now as low as I can make it and the action is still a bit high, but only by 1/16", which is nowhere near as bad as it was!
Apparently whoever made it decided to put the selector switch upside down. No, it's not just that the switch ring is upside down, the whole switch is!
So there it is, the guitar as I bought it (almost, as mentioned before I lowered the action as much as I can). It's going to need a fair bit of work, but I don't think there's anything I can't manage.
