"overpriced POS - $1 (ruseriousville)"

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

And so, here it is. Another japanese pos guitar sold at a yardsale for 15 bucks 30 years ago that sat in a closet for 25 of them, was played by a fourteen year old for 5 minutes every few months & got lost under the dirty laundry the rest of the time.
It is just as unplayable as it was when purchased brand new from the JC Penny catalog so many moons ago... maybe even more so.
The action is non existent /strings are a half inch away from the fretboard half way up the bent (including bent trussrod) neck/ tuning pegs are ancient & cheap & will Not stay in tune/ pickups barely work (new, they sounded like crap) /volume & tone pop & scratch / ground wire is toast and the body is cracked.
It is, however a vintage piece, nostalgic,looks kinda cool, can be fixed with a HUGE amount of time and money & turned back into a mediocre player at best & makes a great conversation piece and/or wall hanger.
Taking offers from the highest bidder starting at $250.oo"
