OLD BATTLE AXE!
Purchased in August 2019. After being unable to convince a friend to buy based on the aoudns quality of the guitar... I decided to do my research and I had no idea what kind of value I would eventually find! Greatly have improved the action with the adjustable neck and adjustable bridge. Head stock has been repaired, body has been repaired for cracks near electronics and also a big dent below the bridge that is covered up with a sticker. The guitar is invaluable and low purchase price has truly been a blessing.

Its the cheapest instrument I've bought and has brought the most value.
