Hi all,
Unfortunately, no pics, but I think I can do an accurate job of describing it. I stopped at a small thrift shop and saw an old guitar in the corner. It is about the size of a regular guitar, if slightly smaller. Typical blonde wood front with dark colored pick guard, typical darker wood neck, sides and back of body. After that it gets weird.
The guitar only has 5 strings. It is not missing one, it is only pegged for five. The tuning knobs are all on the left side of the head, the pegs stick up straight out of the head on a diagonal line. There is a metal plate, engraved with designs, on the front of the head.
The neck is maybe half the width of a normal neck. The frets have mother-of-pearl inlays. The soundhole is not round, there are two of them, one on each side of the strings on the body. They are not in the classic f# design, they look more like greater than/less than signs, like this: <|||||>
The strings attach on the bottom side of the body, not on the front face.
There are no markings anywhere, including on the inside of the body.
Has anyone ever seen anything like it?
Thanks,
Kevin
