Late 60's COnrad ES-335 clone on ebay for 150? Can't quite figure out what it is, it does appear to have p90s in it rather than buckers.

Anyone know anything about Conrad's?

Nope. Don't know a thing about 'em.

The pups look to be a copy of Dynasonics. The vibrato unit, attached to the trapeze style bridge, looks funky. Seller says he's missing the arm for the unit. Looks like it might be hard to replace, if at all. Looks like the guitar company was trying to combine a Gibby with a Gretsch.

Japanese quality was hit or miss in the 60's... Might be fun for a mod crazy guitar nut to buy, but I would pass if it were me.
