New Free Guitar Day!
It's a Late 70's Cimar - Astra
The pics make it look in a lot better condition than it really is.
I am pretty sure that it was left in a garage for a number of years, I have spent a long time cleaning it up. It was covered in mould and dirt and it had become somewhat of a graveyard for all types of creepy insect things including some weird wormy things (dead thankfully)!
Anyway gave it a good clean and it came up pretty nice, although the laquer is pretty much cracked everywhere and it has loads of marks and dings. Amazingly the neck was perfectly straight and the only thing missing was the nut for the toggle switch so I just bought a new one. I put new strings on and cleaned the electronics, I wasn't expecting much but to my surprise everything actually worked perfectly, the switch the pickups everything!
It's actually a really nice guitar I really like it, I can see we people rate the Cimar guitars now.
