Unusual Old Electric Guitar - Vintage Red Freshman - NR

Please enlarge photos to see further details and condition.
More information on request.

A striking, old guitar made by Freshman (Foreign). I know very little about it and it is sold as not working as I guess that some work would need to be done. Please read condition notes below. It is a great decorative piece.

I would guess it is perhaps 1960s or 70s.  It is slightly smaller than average with 18 frets (?) and a small body.

UK POSTAGE ONLY

Colours may be a little different to those in some photos.

Condition:  Untested. I imagine it will most likely need attention and there are some external points too: 2 machine heads need straightening, but they all turn fairly well. A screw is missing from the scratch plate near the knobs and it lifts to reveal the pots. A string is missing. The pick-ups move around and will need securing and also one of the plaques on one pick-up is slightly bent/lifting. The main structure is good, the neck seems straight and the neck to body join is surprisingly strong. There is some wear (heavier in usual places) and some tarnishing, dust etc. I haven't looked inside it. The switch seems ok and the knobs turn (although the last one may have a problem - it is hard to tell with the scratch plate lifting). The fretboard and action seem ok to me.  Generally an unusual and interesting vintage guitar which might make an interesting repair project.

Sold as a decorative item. 

I always try to provide photographs of back covers, contents pages etc. where possible.
