Another 'what's this?'

I don't know this guitar but it's definately an import. Any ideas?

Thanks Tekky. Any good in your opinion? And how much would a mint guitar cost today? I'm offered one and it looks like a nice thing to beat up for little money.

Also, I have a serial number now. It is 70302757.

Damn, I cannot find any information on this particular model. What I'd like to know if this is a plywood guitar or made out of a solid piece of wood. I like the way it looks because I want a traditional looking guitar for jamming with others than the metalheads I'm used to. If the body and fretwork is ok, I can always replace hardware and pickups. Does anyone have information on this guitar?

[Tekky]

I don't have one, so I can't comment on the quality or pricing. This is all I can tell you about it. If someone is selling the guitar to you, just ask them.

Pickups: 2-J125 Single coils, 1-J60 Humbucker
Controls: Volume, Tone, Tone
Bridge: V-trem
Body Wood: Alder
Neck Wood: Maple
Fretboard: Rosewood

Well that's certainly some useful information. I picked her up today and she was brandnew. It's a great guitar and I guess I have a good one because I can imagine that they can be inconsistent in quality. Anyway, if someone sees one anywhere, try it! I'm very happy and lucky to have this one.
