I had a Freshman 5800 back in the 80’s, but mine had a maple neck. Neck was bent, it was unplayable, surprised it didn’t put me off playing the guitar. Cost me £18.00 in about 82. It amazes me the price of these “budget” brands now on ebay. When they were new they were rubbish, now they are just old rubbish 😉 but fascinating for those of us who tried to learn on them. All the best, Paul
