Topic: ngd could be lawsuit era Japanese

Yesterday I picked up an old Columbus guitar in ineed of some tlc its a strat type body with two humbuckers and a neck similar to a kramer or jackson  .its in need of a full refurb but it plays and sounds ok I suspect it may be from the late 70s early  80s  law suit era in which case its worth more than the pittance I paid for it.I havent checked for serial numbers inside yet.I'll post a pic later.But mean while if any one  has any info I'd be greatful.

Classy looking guitar.

Re: ngd could be lawsuit era Japanese

thanks  for  the  comments  guys .it does  have  a  couple  of   scratches   but  it  all  adds  to  the  character   I  might  set  it  up  for  slide  cos  it  has  a  great dirty  sound
