What is this old German travel guitar?


guitarz.blogspot.com

I'm doubtful, on one hand this travel guitar looks definitely handmade - its fretless fingerboard over the body/neck junction could come from a typically east-german hollow-body Schlaggitarre and the electronics are limited to pickups and Flying V-style jack output...

guitarz.blogspot.com Another day when I browse the Web looking for a new guitar to show here, thinking that I've seen it all and that I've squinted at enough Les Paul and strat copies for the next ten years...  Then here it is, the little...

- Moll Express Jazz Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com Though it has an old school/modernist German vibe, this superb high end luthier's jazz guitar comes from Missouri (I think it's one of the states of Northern America). Its slightly experimental shape - based on ageless hollow-body...
