cool Welson with retrofit DiMarzio pickups
guitarz.blogspot.com:
This double cutaway asymmetric florentine semi-hollow-body Welson looks kinda cool - this is not a design you see everyday, even if it is not as radical as their inevitable very 1960s Italian solid bodies.
This model - I couldn't put a name on it - was also distributed in Germany as Dynacord - and in general Welson guitars were more sought after in the rest of Europe than in Italy - and they also released instruments in the USA under the Wurlitzer and Orpheum brands.
You'll have noticed that the pickups don't look like 1960s Italian ones, they have been replaced by later DiMarzio ones that look a little bit out of place on this guitar, but to me it says that the guitar is a player, and it's meant to keep playing music, not be a decoration on the wall of a collector!
