Very cool retro-styled Opal guitar by Joseph Kraut

guitarz.blogspot.com:

Now here's a really cool piece. It looks for all the world like it's some bizarre vintage guitar but it is actually relatively modern, namely a 2008 Opal by Joseph Kraut. Design-wise it's a mash-up between Danelectro and cigar-box guitar; it even has a metal forearm rest as you might find on a banjo. I'm not sure what materials are used but they have a vinyl-like appearance, maybe even the top and back are made of Formica. I'm guessing the construction is like that of a Danelectro - certainly the body appears to be hollow with that soundhole grille on the upper bout. (If anyone has any further info, I'd love to know more).

This guitar is currently being offered for sale on reverb.com with a $450 Buy It Now price tag.
