I picked this up dirt cheap last week. I was looking for a guitar that would be basically indestructible and wouldn't have to worry about humidity, etc to take on trips and camping. This one fits the bill.
It's a funky, quirky little thing. If you don't know about these, they have a hard foam casted neck with aluminum fretboard and frets. The board and frets are all one casting so re-fret is out. The frets on this one are in great shape so no worries, plus I'm pretty easy on frets. Laminated top, deep bowl Lyrachord (plastic) back. Bolt on neck. The extension isn't even glued down. Made in Moussup, Connecticut. Late 70's. The only real wood on it is the walnut bridge and it's a top loader. EDIT: Almost forgot, no truss rod either.
It has a really nice tone for what it is. Kind of a thunkier sort of Gibson-like tone. I like it and it plays really nicely after a setup. Maybe I'll make a video demo when I have a chance. There really aren't any good ones on Youtube.
The look just screams 70's to me.
