I repaired one of those a few months ago.
They are hollow body construction thus making them light as a feather which cannot be said about the real thing. The picups are low output humbuckers which are wired to a passive system of a Phase switch, a pickup selector, two volumes and a Master tone.

They sound a bit wooly and the low output humbuckers really need a good pre-amp to get the best coming from them.
