Description

So this guitar – I’m not 100% sure about the brand or origin, but it looks like a Japanese-made electric from the 70s. No markings on the body, so I can’t be certain, but the hardware stands out – brass saddle and bridge, which feels very period-specific. It’s got an active built-in distortion unit that’s actually quite good, with four mini switches that give you a lot of tonal variety. Honestly, it’s not easy to explain without knowing what each switch does, but the sound is solid and the action is great. Solid wood body, feels sturdy, and it’s in pretty decent shape for its age. I’ve only played it a bit recently, so it’s not been heavily used. I’ve had a few strings on it, but it’s just about ready for a fresh set. I’m not looking to sell it for a lot – £180 is my current offer, but I’m open to reasonable talks. If you’re interested, I can send it off, though I’ll need to find some packaging. Based in Leeds (LS17), so just let me know if you’re up for a chat.
