wow thanks for all the help! yea i've just finished stripping all the electronics off of it. unfortunately most of the wiring was messed up so i could never hear how it should've sounded, so i don't know if i should clean up the old pickups or if i should simply invest in some new ones. does anyone happen to have sound demos or can maybe try to explain how the pups sound ?
thanks again !

From your description it sounds like you have a Victoria basically like this with a different pickup configuration:
If so, it was built by Zen-On in the mid 1960's. The value of a Zen-On in Excellent condition is probably in the $200-$250 range. Given the condition you describe, I think you can do whatever modifications you want to do with the guitar. It's value as a vintage instrument is lost but someone may be interested in the parts you replace if they are in good working order.

anyways, it is a jag-stang/mustang lookalike, with tobacco burst/dark color burst finish, a dark, very full and wide neck, dual pickups with 3 switches which read "mic 1," "mic 2" and "r'thm-solo." it also has 2 tone and a master volume knob that appear to be made of bronze or some other form of dense, dull colored metal.
anyways, i was wondering if anyone might be able to ID it for me, tell me a little bit about it if possible, and also, if possible, tell me if it is worth repairing to its old form. i am thinking about simply stripping the paint and reworking it as a mustang lookalike with real fender neck and upgraded pickups as a side project.
regardless, i received it free from a friend so i guess no loss there! it's a real beater there, so i'm not sure what to do with it. there are literally...holes drilled clean through the wood for no purpose, and, before i removed it, there was a washer superglued to the body just underneath the high frets of the neck.
thanks for all your help!
