What the name of the mustangesque one?
Because that's the body i'm lookin at

satellite 65 t, and they're plywood and very cheap ply at that...

I made the mistake of buying one off eBay as a project.
The neck has a weird (as in almost nonexistent) taper meaning a conventional bridge is too wide.
The holes for the tuners are really close together.
The plywood on mine was delaminating at the bottom of the neck pocket, meaning the body was pretty much scrap.

On the upside, the cheapest 24" scale guitar you'll ever see.
And the finish on them isn't hideous.

Seriously though, AVOID!

Ha! did you buy mine?

I had one of the Mustang type ones. We smashed it to pieces at Doogfest I.
There is a guy on ebay called Catsleep, he sells loads of this crap, always 'sold as seen, no returns'.

That's where I got mine from!

Mail order only; no collecting in person. Lesson learned (was a few years back though).

I had a Satellite as my first ever amp (alongside my "Top Twenty" guitar)....if their amps are anything to go by, avoid their guitars at all cost

This coupled with my trusty DS-1 was my rig at the tender age of 15 ('tis a miracle I kept at playing guitar now I think about it).
