I bought one of these for my brother for his birthday around 1988. It was a terrific guitar and he was very happy to have it. It might not have been exactly the same model -- mine was a natural finish. But I think that's what it was called -- 6-inline headstock, solid top.

It has a cheap plastic nut and saddle, which I've never bothered to have changed and it's not complex in tone. It also has quite a narrow nut, so it's not, for me at least, a guitar for complex fingerstyle arrangements, but it serves as a strummer, and I don't get precious about it, so it's useful to take out and about and to lend to other people. I recently bought a Tonewood amp (the effects amp that sticks to the back of a guitar), and I tested that on the Fender, thinking it would add to the complexity of tone, but no. It just sounds like the guitar slightly louder and with effects added. But it has a place in my collection. It's no longer pristine (I dropped it!) so it's probably not worth very much, and its utility to me is greater than any amount of money I'm likely to get for it - but if you'd like to buy it for 500 euros, it's yours! If you've got any specific queries, I'll gladly try to help. |
