found this bay on a fleamarket today, only 20 euro the guitar has had a live of neglect it seems, dirty, rusted strings cracked finish (badly) but further in a good condition and complete .
even the always missing tremelo arm is still in place!!!

it's german that's for sure, and i suspect it to be a astro, because the knobs, switch bridge and tremelo are identical or almost to those on the astro i already own for several years.
even the pu's are the same but i replaced these on that other astro because one was missing and put humbuckers in it after hacking some holes in it.

Image

but maybe i'm wrong so who can tell?
i've seen those tuners before but can't remember where,

the pu's are weak but sound warm and jazzy, all is working even the pots are noise free, very unusual for a guitar that has been stored and forgotten for a long time.
need to change the neck angle a little bit but that's all.

I assume it's a bolt-on neck?
