Hi guys
picked up this seventies japanese copy two years ago, paid like 30 usd for it
brand is Condor. never found a lot of info on it
did not work, pu were dead and a horrible "natural" finish
finally did some work on it
put a nice MIJ fender neck pu in it and painted it turqouise
sanded the neck down, which does feel a lot more pleasant

before



after




cheers!

oh man, that looks awesome. love the rounded edges and curvy body, especially with that color.

digging the control plate mounted output jack, too!

I love it!

I know the pickguard's probably white, but it makes it cooler in my mind if I picture it as chrome like the whole rest of the hardware

that looks great! how's the action on the neck?

Boss as fuck. I'v actually been planning to put the input jack on the control plate of my gfs tele when I get to work on it finally

Bridge hardware is sexy with those curves, especially with the 3 saddles. Love the color too!

I'm also a fan of having the input jack on the control plate. I scrapped switches and pots on my tele for a 3-way and an output jack. Big gaping hole in the butt is funny, especially when you finger it.

thanks for the comments

action is very good, and the guitar is very light; especially compared with my avri 52
But i like it a lot, even a bit more since I had to put some work and patience in it

but alreay thinking on a new project

i assume the body is bigger than normal tele :O
