help with my guitar

Flaregon

I found an electric guitar today in a shop today it say chaser on it, it looks intersting so I got it. Its a bit damaged and would like an idea on what it is, hold old it and so on.
Thank you for any info in advance.

Smallest pictures ever! Can't make anything out, other than it's a Les Paul copy of some variety.

And what's written on the FRONT of the headstock, that's the most important bit, asides from Chaser of course. It will tell us make/model.

15 seconds of googling tells me they were Japanese made, and alright, but who knows. I wouldn't be thinking it's worth anything, how does it play?

Well it looks my quick googling was right:p

Other than that, personally, I would take off the manky strings, clean the whole thing, oil the neck with lemon oil, set it up as well as possible and swap out anything that's broken, string her up and see how it plays. All of that is assuming it costs next to nothing to swap out parts!

Can't see it being worth anything, but if it plays well then happy days.

sounds about right.

a bolt on neck and open tuners speaks of the lower end of the market, buit it could be a real player!

For €15 though, who can complain?

I love cheap ass guitars. Some of my favs were bargain bucket 2nd hand buys. It's also a great sense of achievement when it's all finished and plays well.. Well done.
