I don't remember them in Sears, I did see 'em in Lafayette Electronics for $44.95 with their own brand on 'em. Fixed a few such neck alignments by filling the mounting screw holes with epoxy and drilling new holes.
I have a two-pickup version in reddish sunburst! It was given to me by my grandma, whose father owned it in the 70s for the local church band. Naturally there’s better vintage guitars from Japan around this time it was made, but once I got the wiring sorted out and fixed some of the frets it’s got some serious mojo to it. Its a favorite of mine to play and definitely one guitar I’ll never let go of!
LoL i enjoyed the many unanswered questions followed up with a sick shredding outro, KR. Weird guitar with enough switches and buttons to launch a nuke. If it didnt cost you the price of a new kidney I'd like to see one of these made perfect to see what it could really do. It was I like to think thoughtfully and intelligently designed with something in mind. I just dont know what.
My first electric! Bought it new in 1974 at the Keesler AFB BX for $35. It was a typical cheap Japanese guitar. I'd like to find a half decent one just to upgrade the hardware and see what I can do with it for kicks and giggles.
I had one of these when I was 14 in 1970-73. Traded it in 74, would really love to have another (for nostalgia only - I don't recall it being a very good guitar :)). Is it for sale?

That sounds awesome. I’ll bet the red sunburst looks gorgeous.

Haha. You remember correctly. It is NOT that great. Unfortunately, It’s already in a new home. But if I find another one I’ll let you know.
