This guitar was made in the 60s or 70s. It has 2 pickups and a tone and volume control. I got it because it as bright blue with red script
"Immortal" on the head. I do not play tis guitar although it will tune up. I own it along with other unheardof brand name guitars.

I have plugged it in an amp before. The sound is brash and unsweet.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:
No Opinion
The finish is blue paint. I don't know if the body is solid or laminated. The action is fair but can't ever become great due to the bowed neck with no truss adjustment.

Don't try to rely on an Immortal to play a gig without a backup. You might get started and half way through have to stop and retune.

Immortals were probably only made a few years. If you run into one pick it up. It may have value to a collector.

This is a big yellow electric with blue pickups and pick guard. The two double coil pickups are made in japan but I don't know about the guitar itself. The body is plywood and the neck is maple. The frets are in good shape and are standard type. It has a volume and tone control with a select switch. The bridge is angle cut and has no good adjustment screws.

The sound is like you'd expect from a yellow and blue overseas made guitar. I do not use it on any music other than sixties pop tunes like Mony Mony, Latin Lupe Lu, Satisfaction and Louie Louie. I can imulate those guitar sounds quite well with the Immortal.

The action is ok but not great. The paint job is fair but I cannot call it good. It has spots where the yellow has chipped off and is showing the plywood body.

This is a conversation piece and does not ever get played on stage. I guess I could play some types of events with it but I would never use it as my only stage guitar.

Immortal guitars were made overseas over fifteen years ago. I do not know where I would find customer support for this guitar.

The yellow and blue color scheme is tacky but unique. I have other guitarsthat are similar and are off brand. This one is not feally my favorite and does not have any great character about it.
