A very nice german lady, who had a rough life, better said a neglected life, proberly been laying around on a attick after the frets wore down too much.

He has serious fretwear on th top of the neck but still is good playable, the finish has aged beautiful, nicely cracked which gives him loads of mojo.

My suspection is it’s a Astro, mainly because all the hardware except the tuners, is the same as on the astro i already own for a few years (these pu’s were also on the astro when i got him but they were broken so i replaced them for humbuckers)

And to my amazement all the potmeters work without any noise very unusual on a guitar

that has been treated bad like this, the guitar was extremely dirty when i bought it,

a real dirtbag.

Coming home i cleaned it polished it and restrung it, that’s when i discovered that someone has been messing with the neck angle, there was a thick piece of plastic in the neckjoint,

what offaset the neck in a way it looked like a bow and arrow.

I used a smal piece of it in the right spot to get the angle right again and now it’s a good

player again.

The neck pu sounds nice and jazzy and the bridge pu has a unexpected bite and edge,

these pu’s were made by schaller if i’m not mistaken.

Again a good fleamarket find which made my day.

If anybody can identify this guitar, please, tell me i’m curious to know it’s real origin.
