I'm talking about a brand of guitar called Magna. A client dropped one off with me - it's basically a Strat copy. Heavy body, blue tinted finish, white pickguard, rosewood board, gold hardware. I've done multiple searches and found nothing except stuff about Aria Pro II's Magna series built in the 80's. And then multiple returns of variations on Magna, like Magnatone, etc. Nothing on Squeebay, Treeverb, or even Glamazon. It's like they have no internet presence at all.
It seems decent, I got the setup nice and low. The whammy system works nicely. The pickups are cheapo, for sure - but that can be corrected. I think he said he found it in a pawnshop. It's brand spanking new - plastic still on the pickguard, no marks. Gold Gotoh 18:1 tuning machines with butterbean knobs. The only thing I did of any consequence was polish the frets, because they looked like someone scuffed them with maroon Scotchbrite.
