T-Bay Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 It's an interesting one, I have no idea of maker though unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 It's definitely not a Gretsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luulox Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 It looks home made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 My first thought was Eastern European, but looking closer, I'm leaning towards home-made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Looks like the headstock emblem has been put on over something older. Hollow body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Seems more late 60's early 70's to me and I an not so sure on if it is home made or not but I am totally guessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Not convinced by that intonation. And there's some seriously weird sh*t going on at the neck joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 It's got the same Radiospares knobs as were used on a lot of 60s-early 70s British amps. They could have been changed at any time, or it might point towards it being cobbled together in the UK around that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincam Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Its not 50s imo. And I'm not sure about high quality, although it does have a certain look to it and I do kinda like it. Looks possibly like an obscure low volume brand that was run out of a shed at the bottom of the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) He doesn't know much about it yet it's still "high quality"...imagine that.. Edited March 27, 2017 by TheGreek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1490942908' post='3269156'] Looks like a heavily modified Egmond, like this: [url="http://touch.adverts.ie/electric-basses/egmond-bass-guitar/4579914"]http://touch.adverts...-guitar/4579914[/url] [/quote] I think you're right. Looks like someone tried to make it look like a Gibson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
