unidentified customised German guitar

I have no idea what this guitar might be... It's much likely German from the 1970s, though the shape makes me think of a Defil - a Polish brand. The pickups look quite Musima - or one of the many Markneukirchen guitar brands -, but the pickguard could be from Höfner, and I've seen this kind of bridge and trem on many German guitars. 

It has obviously been refinish in this quite peculiar glitter khaki green and the knobs probably come from a radio, so I bet it's a Frankenstein, still something tells me I should recognize the original model - am I not a double florentine hollow-body guitars fan?

So, anybody has an clue?

Edit: I was wrong all along, it's an Egmond 2ES1 Colorado!

- Lindberg Semi-hollow Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com I know very little about Lindberg guitars - it was a German brand from the 1950s to the 1970s that didn't make their guitars but had them build by various luthiers in Germany and Japan (including Matsumoku)(note that it was not...

- Hofner 4577 Thinline
guitarz.blogspot.com This Hofner 4577 - the thinline version of the 477 hollow-body model, introduced in 1967 - has at least two features that make it much desirable: a florentine cutaway and a Hofner tremelo, both things that I love on a semi-hollow....

- Voss Jazz Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com What a poor guitar blogger I am, today again I cannot say much about this Voss jazz guitar, but a rough description. First of all, I never heard about the Voss brand so far, even after a few years spent glorifying German schlaggitarren,...
