It's a bitsa homemade job by the looks of things and probably unplayable but the Hofner parts mean it could be useful for spares. Initially I thought it was a Burns Sonic that had had a transplant, could also be based around an Orpheus or some other obscure brand - those tuners look like they've been taken from an old Spanish guitar!

It does seem somewhat bizarre. I wonder how long before it's back up again.

those old hofner guitar pickups are worth a few quid, i was watching this in the hopes of getting them.
