Valencia T 401

[thetermight]

Hey guys

I found this guitar in a recording studio, and was offered it for free. I've stripped down all the broken bits, I have a working bridge and the missing nut as well.

Any info on the guitar? and any suggestions as to what I should do with it? Scrap it or work on it? haha

I don't recognize the name Valencia but it looks a lot like super cheap Harmony/Kay/Silvertones I see on eBay a lot. When I see them in real life they're usually mounted on a wall in a restaurant as a decoration. I've never know a serious musician who played one but, hey, if you can get it working why not go for it? I would think the main question is what kind of shape is the neck in? Since it's steel reinforced it's not adjustable, so if it's not straight it's probably not worth repairing.

there is a ton of Valencias all over Japan, but these days they seem to be making classicals. As stated above, look like beginner guitars, I`ve not yet been tempted to buy one.
