Action is a bit high at the moment, and adjustment is limited to bridge height unless I shim the neck (no truss-rod adjustment is obvious).
The whammy bar works and provides a nice warble in a limited range. Intonation is difficult since the bridge is a bar of metal with grooves cut into the top. Both pickups and associated switches work, and the volume and tone pots function without noise. There is a little crackling if the cable is touched while connected, but otherwise, the electronics seem solid. I’ve put new strings on it and, other than some dust and grime gathered over the years, the guitar is in great shape. I’ve tried researching Kingston guitars, but can’t come up with much.
On Father’s Day weekend, I found this guitar at a local garage sale in Bellevue, Washington, for $20-including gigbag, cables, spare strings, and a little Danelectro amp.
