Conqueror Electric Mandolin 1970s Natural

Korean-made Conqueror electric mandolin distributed by Bruno out of Chicago in the early 1970s.  It's in excellent condition and comes with the original hard shell case. There are lots of these 70s Korean mandolins out there under various brand names but few with the features of this Conqueror - - rosewood (laminate) sides and back, laminate natural spruce top, 6-layer binding, fake tortoise shell pick guard, high output pickup, cool knobs, block fingerboard inlay, multiple binding on the fretboard, rosewood laminate headstock, and high quality tuning gears.  Other than the two scars on the front (picture 3) and a blemish on the back of the neck (pic 10) this instrument is impeccable and plays super easy with low action.  Because it's electrified I installed Gibson monel steel light gauge strings (they respond better to a magnetic pickup). When plugged in it maintains its realistic sound and you can get plenty of volume without feedback.  The original case is in excellent condition but is slightly oversized (typical of hard cases in the 1970s).  $300 plus $30 shipping.
