Edit: it appears that it's a modified Jolana Star VII - with a simplified bridge, a home-made pickguard and a fake brand on the headstock (and, er..., the knobs are original)... There were so many of these Jolanas! Thank to a FaceBook follower for the information...

- Ibanez Artcore Talman Ftm60
guitarz.blogspot.com: Another Talman variation in a long series, here is the thinline Ibanez Talman FTM60 in sea foam green finish and perloid pickguard, without the trademark Talman control plate but with a massive bridge that I never saw before...
- Perl Gold Archtop
guitarz.blogspot.com We've already shown a very similar PerlGold archtop guitar a couple of years ago (here) but I don't know if the differences of finish, knobs, headstock and pickguard are just cosmetic or indicate different models....
- 1967 Custom Kraft Hollow-body
guitarz.blogspot.com This Custom Kraft semi-hollow has some killer details - the beautiful Custom Kraft headstock, the double pickguard, the flash-shaped soundholes, the one bloc bridge/stoptail... I cannot tell if the strange positions of the knobs is...

what is this Plasma-labeled guitar?
guitarz.blogspot.com
This Plasma guitar feels like a one-off - and if not it's been anyway retrofit because you wouldn't find a wooden pickguard on any factory guitar!

But I don't remember ever seen such pickups and bridge (and the knobs could come from a toaster or something). Any idea?
