This looks oddball enough for me to be interested and it has mini hums

Nice guitar, Lindy Fralin offers those mini hums like that and also that look like P90's. I ran up on a Univox Hi-Flyer copy back in the day in a local pawn shop. I was grimy and I got it for $90. Cobain made them famous and I sold if for several hundred some years later. I enjoyed playing it while I had it. It was very light weight, easy to play and sounded great.

I'm a real sucker for vintage white guitars with mint guards...that indentation around the body looks pretty neat too. I checked the local distributor who deals in Aria in Thailand and it seems to be the only model they don't have listed 😭

Just a heads up, because I'm the king of buying guitars that appear to me emotionally without considering things like ergonomics and practicality: Upper fret access on this instrument will be limited to about the 15th fret.

That's fine if all you want to play is Johnny Ramone stuff, but just be forewarned.

But there's no denying that the cool factor on this guitar is very high.

That's called a "German Carve", BTW: https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/german-carve/
It does look pretty damn cool on the right guitar!
