Well let me start off by saying I know nothing about guitars. I love music, but I can promise I would be a horrible musician. Anyway, I found this guitar and the price was to good to pass up, so I drug it home. I was thinking of just putting in on CL, since I will never get around to playing it. I was just wondering about general information on this model? And what is something in this condition valued at? Guess worse case, I can just hang it on the wall and call it art Heres some photos, not the best but you can see what it is.

The body is for sure a Spectrum. The headstock on that neck doesn't look like anything I've seen before. It could be anything from a cut down Squier to a paddle headstock cut to that shape. Either way, not sure if it's terribly valuable. The body, depending on shape and the viability of the electronics should be OK.
Burning it? I wouldn't. Especially when you could grab a contemporary series neck on the 'bay, provide a bit of TLC, and have a pretty decent spectrum.
As far as the animosity towards the newby coming here looking for info, I've always felt that it is misplaced. It's a damned if they do and damned if they don't situation. If he does, he's vilified for coming here and daring to ask such questions. But, if he doesn't, he's ridiculed in the eBay forum as being a moron for not knowing anything about the guitar. I guess it's one of the things that this forum has turned into that makes me somewhat ashamed to be a member here anymore.Last edited by Tekky; 02-04-2011, 03:09 PM.Occupy JCF

About the neck, there is the name Kahler made in the USA stamped on it.

Its as I thought when I bought it, that it is there for a reason. Strange thing is it had a pawn shop sticker on the rear for $350.00. I feel sorry for who ever paid that price...maybe I shop take it back and see what they'll give me for it lol

It's sad what this place has become. It used to be a cool place to hang and talk about guitars. Now, it is becoming a bastion for tools and trolls with only few bright spots. It's become the elitist forum that we were accused of being by the ESP, Ibanez, BC Rich and other various guitar/music forums. Maybe some of the others had it right, they tried to split off and make a go of it with their own forums. Sadly, for some reason or another, their efforts fizzled. It is astounding that this place has lasted so long with this attitude.
When I was an admin here, I was no angel. I had an attitude and was very prone to anger. But despite that, I would get e-mails and private messages asking information about Jacksons and Charvels. If I couldn't answer them, I'd point them here. Now, when I get e-mails, I ask some of the old JCFrs that I'm still in touch with. Never would I subject someone looking for help to some of the stuff that you guys put people through.
When someone asks for info, what does it matter what they do with it?? If they use that info to sell their guitar what impact does it have on the forum?
I can see if the newb is being a tool himself that the forum jump in and give him the business. But in this particular case (and many others like it) this person did nothing but look for info. Yet, he's practically run off with accusations about the guitar going on eBay like it's a bad thing.
OK, I'll stop yammering on about this. I've said my peace. I just want the JCF to be a righeously cool place to hang again.Occupy JCF

The neckplate is probably the most valuable thing on the guitar...valued at about $20. Hopefully you do not have more than $25 invested here. Not sure what putting it in a closet is gonna do.
Good luck with whatever route you take.
If I put it in the closet, I won't have to deal with it lol
