Interesting

in fact, when it is perfected and everything in it works very well, it is a very good guitar, unusual with an unusual sound, but I would not call this instrument serious, if it is in perfect condition, I would recommend it to beginners who are interested in vintage and strange guitars, but this guitar is not serious
