Audition Top Twenty. If you passed an audition with one of these, I'd be surprised. Even the cheap-shit guitars these days are miles better than this kind of firewood.
Like this (not mine but the same as).
And proof that I gigged it back in the 70s. I replaced both single coil PUs with dodgy cheap Humbuckers but then cut an extra opening to but a single between them. Took out the spring and removed the arm of the unstable Vibrato system.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
A black Hondo Les Paul Copy - which i bought from a mate for £15.
It was missing a control knob & a machine head.
It really was a terrible guitar, but I loved it and it got me playing.
One the same theme, my first amp and cab was a Woolies Audition. I could never understand why it sounded so shit, but I had to persevere as my old man wouldn't buy me a better one. The amp clipped onto the cab below with a couple of over-centre catches. Not long after I bought it, I'd strapped it to the carrier on my pushbike to go to my mate's house but it fell off going down the high street and a bus ran it over. The old man clouted me when I got back home, he thought I'd done it deliberately.
