I was lucky and the intonation was "acceptable" on this one. It would have been a pain to measure out and try to move that bridge to the correct spot. I never get things right the first try. Lol there would have been holes everywhere 🤣. I would have gone the tune-o-matic route and called it a day. Thanks for watching.
I probably should do a follow-up demo video on it. I am shocked at how well it plays. The V-neck is very comfortable and the sustain is really good for a pretty much plywood guitar. Pickups are microphonic but not too bad. They sound closer to the P-90s.
Depends on your definition of good. It plays and sounds great. As a personal preference. I love these old JC Penney/Sears guitars. Does it have value? No, but value is subjective.
@@GuitarRx Value is absolutely subjective. I still have my first electric guitar in storage. It's a Rockster I bought in the early 90s. At best any individual part might be passable, but I played it in some of my teen and yearly 20s bands / recordings so it holds a bunch of nostalgia. I'm thinking of a "gradfather's axe" strategy of replacing parts over time until I have a decent neck, tuners, mics, electronics, bride and shielding on it :)
Well, some of us love fixing them up just as much as playing them, fixing a cheap guitar is sometimes more rewarding when you get it playing just as good as an expensive one. The value isn't always in the $$.

Nice,same as the one I totally tore up learning work on guitars on. Remember having to move the bridge once I figured out how intonation worked

Oh man I would love to hear it played!

Looks beautiful ✨✨🎸
Thank you
I'm pretty sure these were also sold under the Harmoney badge as the H-802, they originate from Japan, fun guitars.
I would have taken the pups
Gave the rest to a kid
Just asking but is it worth putting so much time and effort into a guitar that will never really be really any good?

You are 100% correct. Btw I checked out your channel. Some good videos on it. @@RisingSunGuitarMods
@@GuitarRx Thanks mate, apreciate that.
Wow, fantastic job!
I have about a dozen guitars and Im on my second kit build. But I am really interested in a restoration project such as this.
Thank you.
