2021.1.30: I bought it because the price was probably the lowest bid on the internet in the last few years.
Of course, when I got it, the PG screws were missing, the tone knob was cracked, the lock nut was replaced with a copy of a black one, and the frets were rusted brown all over, but fortunately all the accessories such as the hard case and documents were still there.
The insert blocks were almost all cracked, so they were all replaced with new ones. All the PU height adjustments were made of resin, so they were replaced with springs, and the selector screws and jack were also replaced with new ones.
The coil tap switch lever was also bent, so I replaced it with a short knob one because I didn't want to use the same one and have it break again.
The crack in the PG was a clean section, so I repaired it with glue.
The use itself was not so strong for the price, and there was no sign that it had been replaced except for the nut, so maybe it had been stored for a long time when the PG cracked?
2021.2.9: I was not sure whether the missing nut was R2 or R3, so I bought both and tried them, and finally I added a +0.1mm spacer to the spacer that was included in the height adjustment before the replacement with R2 and assembled it successfully.
The R3 fits the width better, but the first string side sticks out from the neck when it is attached to the original fixing hole, and the R2 fits nicely in the plane position.
This guitar has modern playability with built-in precision that allows the string height to be packed quite low.
I was thinking of selling it after fixing it up because I didn't expect it to be this beautiful and easy to play guitar, but I'm not sure if I want to sell it.
The volume has a heavy rotational torque characteristic of CTS pots, so I will replace the grease at a later date.
2022.4: I sold it because I hardly used it.
