Marina Revival Series FL-1 White 1985
Marina Revival Series FL-1, white, made in Korea around 1985. Marina guitars seem to have been made from around 1984-9 out of Korea, and imported largely into the UK, although some evidently made it here to Australia. This is a pretty basic Strat-style guitar, but it's a handy player with a super sturdy slim stable neck, reliable hardware and plenty of grunt plugged in. The black-on-white aesthetic is cool too.
