My uncle gave this too me when I was 13 and I haven't seen it in years.
It was his first electric guitar when he was a kid.
Over Christmas I stopped by my moms house and asked if she new where it was. And she opened the closet by the front door and there it was. Strings all rusted out and beat to hell.
My younger sister apprently grabbed it a few years back and beat the hell out of it. Guess she got tired of it and tossed it back in the closet.
I know it isn't worth jack shit, but I'm going to fix it up.
Needs a fret job BAD and the pickups are shot... bridge is ok. It actualy stays in tune.
Only has 20 frets and I have no clue what scale it is. I'll take some measurments later.
I do know it's all Mahogany and the neck does not have a truss rod.
Of course it's just over 2" thick and barely 22" long, so I doubt it will ever warp. Nice and thick C profile... actualy very comfortable.
Real MOP dots and Kluson Deluxe tuners too.
Built approx 1956 or 1957.
On to the pics.
