*This guitar appears of similar spec to the Fresher FX-309 and would have been made in the same factory and badged according to the designated distributor. Comparing to the 1980 Fresher catalogue, it appears as though the control knobs have been replaced, along with the bridge/stop bar set up which appears to have originally been a single piece micro-tune type
