It was 1985. A Les Paul was an old man’s guitar, and a shiny Ibanez Roadstar-shaped thing with a locking trem was the future!
Even if the bridge did prove to be made from Play-Doh...

... and here are three distinctive features which help identify it as East German:
(And I don't mean the hilariously over-tall bridge saddle height screws .)

Remarkable isn't it?! I didn't know either, until I saw the same pot type on both of them and realised it was an identifier - those exact pots have never been used anywhere else as far as I know.

I had a Sunn Mustang strat knockoff made in India. That had a body made of 'chunks' and shavings in the style of Sterling board.
It's probably not quite as good as a Squier Standard, but not that far off. It's a little on the heavy side - 8lb 5oz with the trem arm in - although for some reason it feels as if it should be slightly more than that, but not too bad. It stays in tune even with trem use, plays quite well despite the frets not being very smoothly polished, and sounds good. What more can you really get for under £100? You could gig with it if you wanted...
