Valencia H718, very red, made in Korea around 1986. These days, you can buy a cheap and cheerful classical guitar wearing the Valencia name, but this strange beast pre-dates that brand by a decade or two. Valencia is a town in Spain, famous for guitar building; they adopted the name without too much of an actual tie to the place or the guitars that traditionally come from there. This is a Mustang-ish short scale electric, with a comfy slim neck and the remnants of a basic trem, which is currently arm-less and therefore out of commission. It's hardly fancy, but it's small and cute, sounds pretty decent and is very comfy to sit on the couch with.
