Got a few new guitar's recently. From left to right: 1980's Ibanez Roadstar II, 1960's Kingston (not sure of the model name), 1970's Electra 2227, Godin Radiator. The three on the left were given to me from a friend I used to play in a band with. His neighbor gave them to him a few years ago, but he really only plays acoustic guitar now so he passed them to me. They're all made in Japan. The Godin was given to me from my dad who bought it on FB market, then didn't like how it sounded. It's all chambered beneath that pickguard, but it just sounds like a normal electric guitar to me. There's nothing too special about it, so it will probably just sit around and collect dust, as I now have more guitars than I'll ever need. I believe that one was made in Canada.
Of all of them, the only one I really think is worth playing is the Electra. It's fully hollow, has a great neck and low action and sounds mean as hell. Wicked feedback (in a good way) when you hold down notes and chords, but very controllable. I was originally going to put some cheap amazon p90s in it, but I think I might just stick with the stock buckers. It does need a tech to clean up the electronics as the neck pickup and the switch are a bit fussy, but overall it's a beast of a guitar.
The violin looking one is also fully hollow, but it's a bit of a beater. There's a crack in the back of the body and the neck has a pretty wicked bow. I adjusted the truss rod as much as I could, but it's also a plywood neck and I don't think there's much anyone could do to save that one. A music store in Detroit was ballparking me about $300-350 to get it fixed up, which I don't think is worth it. It's fine for open chords, and maybe slide (which I suck at), but bare chords are pretty tough. Will probably keep just to hang on the wall.
I haven't even played the Ibanez. I've never been a strat guy, and that guitar just doesn't speak to me. I looked them up though, and they fetch a decent price (~$400 was the lowest I saw), so it might be something I trade, or pass along to someone who needs a guitar. I've already got two Fender Mustang's that I love, so I really don't need another solid body guitar.
