Possibly Giocattoli Musicali Italiani.

[razze06]

From what I read on fetishguitars.com, giocattoli musicali italiani used to sell cheap acoustic guitars made in yugoslavia, and the logo says GIEMMEI, which reads as GMI in italian. there's an example [url="http://www.facebook.com/pages/musicisti-veneti/125844274095136?v=wall#!/photo.php?pid=608063&o=all&op=1&view=all&subj=125844274095136&id=1687095029"]here[/url].

Tino, I've just worked out the subtitle to this thread.

I think the name you're looking for is Bassassin ...

Maybe, but I'm bugger-all help here.

That Fleabay thing looks like a Strat copy with a re-shaped headstock, & if so I'd bet GMI's the initials of whoever re-shaped it.

Never heard if it otherwise.
