My buddy got this guitar for free and we are trying to figure out what it is. It has no brand name or markings.
sorry about the blurry pics but his camera isn't very good.   |

The vibrato unit was completely useless. The instrument got one tone and one tone only, and was a pain in the arse to play. But it was good exercise I guess. Soon after I received that, I went down to Sam Ash in Paramus, NJ, applied and was accepted for their store credit card, and purchased a Guild Brian May Signature guitar and a Zoom multi-distortion pedal the same day.

A neighbor kid had the 4 PU version in '66&'67. I had & Have the two PU version. May have lost the bet.
