I'm not quite sure why this Pfaff archtop jazz guitar has a Willy Dreier label inside. Friedrich Pfaff produced guitars from 1947 - 1955 for MIGMA, whereas Willy Dreier was a Berlin luthier working in the early to mid 20th Century. Maybe he worked on this particular guitar at some point, performing renovations or repairs perhaps? Whatever the case it is surely an instrument worthy of inclusion here on Guitarz. Just check the (quite appropriate) German carve, the Art Deco headstock and inlays, and that Melos Belton pickup which looks like an extension of the fingerboard itself.
Currently listed on eBay.de with a flurry of bidding at the time of writing. The auction ends tomorrow, so I'll list the final price later.

- Blue Box Acoustic Guitar Is Most Likely A Wall Hanger
guitarz.blogspot.com: This one-off self-built guitar has echoes of cigar box guitar building, although with a much bigger box. The seller readily admits that it is most likely just a "wall hanger" and a "conversation piece" rather than a player - I mean,...

- Vintage German-made Goldklang Archtop Hollow Body Electric Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com: Surely this Goldklang archtop is a relation of other German brands Musima, Migma and Perlgold guitars? There are too many design and hardware similarities for it to be mere coincidence. It's a fantastic looking guitar and don't...
- Vintage Otwin X-7 Western-style Acoustic Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com: Here's an Otwin acoustic guitar which the seller on eBay dates somewhere between 1957 and 1963, telling us that: It was manufactured by Otwin Guitars some time between 1957 and 1963, the only clue to the age of this guitar is...
- Selmer Vintage Lap Steel With Integral Case
guitarz.blogspot.com: I've not seen another guitar like this before, and I suppose a lap steel (or console guitar) would be the only kind of guitar that would suit this format. It's a Selmer-branded lap steel which is actually built into its own...
