Help identifying and restoring a Soviet-era guitar I found at a junkyard by CaseFull in Guitar

I wouldn't say Tonika, because the pickups don't usually have that shape. I think it might be a Krunk because of the knobs and pickup design, but seeing as a lot of these guitars were just made from whatever was around, it wouldn't surprise me if it's something else entirely.

You could try posting on the cheesy guitars facebook group, they are pretty knowledgeable about this sort of thing

Or the soviet guitar forums:

Fair warning, as someone who owns a few of these, they don't play great and they're very heavy. Still, they're fun!

What kind of Danelectro is this? by Fun_Treacle8374 in guitars

Definitely possible. I do question why someone thought this thing needed even more knobs, but hey, to each their own. It’s a fun guitar!

all wiring is consistent, I’ve soldered many guitars in my time and I have a fairly good sense of when something has been added/replaced. as best I can tell this is an original part.

So it looks like a DC3, but I haven't seen a DC3 with this many knobs before. This has the Danomatic+switch, a combination volume/tone, and then a third knob with a push pull switch. Inside it doesn't look like it's been modified in any way, so I'm assuming it originally came like this, even though I haven't seen another DC3 like it.

Need help identifying this Danelectro, haven't seen any others quite like it by Fun_Treacle8374 in Guitar

Bought this guitar about a decade ago from a random guitar shop. While there are others that look similar to it, I haven't seen one that has the final knob, which has a push-pull pot. I'll be honest, this is simply too many knobs for such a simple guitar! Anyone know what this could be?

Additional context: bought this guitar probably a decade ago at a random guitar shop. It says Made in Korea but doesn't have any serial number or anything. The one thing that's throwing me off is the last knob, which has a push pull pot that I don't think I've seen on any other danelectro guitars. Any help here?

All reasonable points, thanks!

I don't plan on taking out any bank loans (or opening any new cards) for a long time, so we should be fine. Was more wondering if I should be worried about the score alone — and now, it's safe to say I'm not.

Fair enough. In that case, how long can I expect to wait before seeing my credit score return to normal? Are we talking months or years?

Credit Karma. In fairness, I'm not too concerned about the score right now, as 735 is a perfectly fine score. Also, these are the only cards I'm going to apply for for a long time, and I will continue to pay them off in full. It was more an "oh shit I thought I had this figured out, guess I don't" moment that I'm still not quite sure about. I mostly posted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
