Hi,
I picked this Cimar (that was an Ibanez subsidiary I think) hard-tail strat at the dump for $15 Au. Anybody know anything about it. It has a made in Japan Plate, solid wood body, very light ? mahogany the wood's natural colour seems close to that. The guitar had no hardware except crappy tuners and brass saddles. The neck has a maple board glued to a maple neck. Jumbo frets. I have have refurbished it now. Rewired with cloth wire, jap squire pickups, PIO 0.047 cap. I have replaced the brass saddles as I wanted to use them on a another guitar.
It rings out like an acoustic when played unplugged.
