Weird, cheap, needs work and supposedly belonged to Steve Howe.

I remember those!  Not sure about Steve Howe owning one, but it was about the same time as the first couple of Asia albums, when he was playing that 335-type with no f-holes, so Gibson might have given him a Victory.

The was a Victory bass too, Ted Nugent's bassist Dave Kiswiney used to advertise them.
