c. 1963 Demian Bizarre Japanese Guitar. Very early Fujigen. Works, but sold AS-IS.

Here's an interesting little guitar which would be good for your Garage Rock/Shaggs tribute band. A c. 1963 Demian made by Fujigen! This guitar is being sold as an "AS-IS" project. These old Fujigen guitars are fun and quirky, but are not super serious instruments. More of a collector, or a cheap, down and dirty garage rock/surf kind of thing.

Body is in fair shape. Kind of cool redburst finish. No major dings or scratches. 

22" scale neck(!) with a 14" radius. No fret outs. Action is medium high. Neck profile is fairly close to baseball bat. 

Electronics have been cleaned and tested. Guitar has a new input jack. Everything works. Pretty good sounds from this guitar. These are early versions of the pickups that were used in some early Greco models. Slightly microphonic. Everything works as it should. Please listen to the sound demo.

Hardware is in fair shape. There is evidence that there was a star shaped sticker on the pickguard. Pickguard is made of metal. Could stop a bullet. Original tremolo cover is missing. 

Tuners work, and hold tune - but they're turn backwards - as if they were for a lefthanded guitar.

This guitar is a curiousity. Might be fun to have around the house to bang out some tunes on. Might look good on a wall. Or you might want to strip it for some of it's bizarre parts to use on another instrument. Works, but sold AS-IS.
