My Korean Krap

Late 80s. Made for a Florida guitar chain apparently.

I've had this knocking around a fair while. Bought it as a wreck with a banana neck for £20. I replaced the dead jazz pick up with a £10 fleebay special, the missing tuners for £15 and likewise the seized bridge for a fiver.
I wound the truss rod right off and stuck it in an old case with a cloth wrapped plank on top of it to straighten it a year or so ago. Forgot I had it until last night. Took it out . The neck looked straight. adjusted the rod and put an old set of Elite flats on it. After a bit of setting up it all works! The pots are a bit scratchy but apart from that you could get away with this at a gig if you absolutely had too.
Not the greatest tone in the world and a lot off neck dive but cheap enough not to worry about that.
No idea what I'm going to do with it though? Maybe i'll set fire to it in a video or something?

I'm right sad, me - I do like those stars 'n' planets inlays!

I was actually slightly tempted by a butchered & bastardized one of these in my local Crack Converters a year or so ago - someone had bodged a strange-looking tort scratchplate onto it.

Luckily I saw sense & ran away.

I've never seen machine heads with Fender stamped on the winders before ... Wonder what they are from ...

From the factory production line of Beijing Bottle Top and Fake Hardware Worldwide Inc at a guess.
They're OK when you've got them to pitch but are a little vague on the way there.

Had another play last night. Everythings settled down nicely and it's not too bad at all. Can't complain for £50 all in.
