From a guy who wants to trade for one of my acoustics. No idea what it is, either side appears to lack markings.

Re: Id This Guitar
I'm tempted to suggest Epiphone-by-Gibson but the headstock colour scheme is wrong for that (unless it is hiding the decal).
Eighties amp maker Gorilla also made budget electric guitars for a while.

I wouldn't trade anything that holds to much value for it. The bridge looks a bit cheap.
Do you know if the body wood is solid or laminated ply?

It does remind me of the Epiphone Strat-type things. Personally, I'd avoid...

I found this on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-Epipho...979?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item3f227f1eeb
It aint the original bridge, you can see the holes where they removed the locking nut
Or maybe put a new /different neck on
I call partscaster

Re: Id This Guitar
They look totally different. the pickguard, jack placement and the headstock look different

Re: Id This Guitar
You're right, the pg could be changed easy enough, the headstock is pretty close, but has a TRC, & the jack angle is different,
My bad.

Re: Id This Guitar
I doubt that the neck is original to the body.
As has been stated, it`s once had a locking nut, specifically a Kahler behind the nut lock. While it`S possible that it had a Kahler Floyd and the holes were pluged and a 6 point added, it`s unusual to say the least. THe other alternative is that it had a Kahler flyer or Pro, had the rout filled, and a much bigfger rout done on the other side for the V-trem. Again, possible, but why would somebody go throught that much effort when a new body is cheaper than the mod?
I call parts mutt.

It's headstock suggests a Kramer, but I'm not sure. I think Zerberus has a point that the headstock isn't original.

Re: Id This Guitar
Just noticed something... the headstock appears to be straight and not angled. And the holes are misaligned for a kahler nut.
If that is in fact the case, it`s possible that it had a FR style guide bar instead of string trees, which was repositioned at some point and lost at a later point. That would explain the asymetric hole spacing, too.....
Definitely something going on up there....

Re: Id This Guitar
Thanks guys, yeah what I'm trading it for is just a $200 Fender Dreadnought. My first inclination that is was some copy or parts guitar trying to do a Kramer.
