Wondering if you want to sell the g265. I am trying to restore my Dad's for his birthday and need one.

Checkmate 245

Recently while at a garage sale I purchased a Checkmate G-245 Guitar sold in the early 70's. You maybe be wondering why I would purchase a POS like this. As a Luthier I figured the mahogany neck was worth something. After taking the top off I found the skeleton to be broken free from the plywood top and back. Nothing on with guitar could ever be reused except the neck but the neck was worth the dollar I spent.

No way. Checkmates rool! LOL
Actually I love em. There's certain sounds you just can't get with quality instruments. If you crank one through a Monkey Wards amp into a good PA, you can sound like Link Wray or Hound Dog Taylor. Mean nasty sounds!
