Identify my guitar, please someone

[watersbluebird]

i just bought this guitar from ebay uk for a grand total of £51. it is the best guitar i have ever played, but then again, my most expensive guitar is an epi lp standard! anyway, is there anyone out there who can shed some light on this guitar as there is no markings whatsoever that might identify it.

No matter what it is at that price it looks VERY good. Carved top and it looks like a neck through? Let us know where you bought if from?

I have no idea what it is, but it's pretty cool looking to me.

i bought it from a private seller on ebay. he lives in bath england, top bloke!! when i collected it, i wasn't expecting much but thought, hey, floyd rose etc, can't be a bad deal, picked it up and was surprised at the quality. put new blue steels and tightened the tremelo springs. now the action is so low. just shows that if you are patient, good deals are there to be had. it still could be a crap guitar in the eyes of experts, but i'm very happy. not played the epi since. (no laughing please). God bless that man in Bath.

That looks like it's a custom job by a local maker, perhaps John Kinkade.

There is another guy doing similar work in the Bath/Bristol area though, but I can't remember his name. I've seen his portfolio, his work looked very good and very diverse.

Possible, but I´ve never seen MoTO inlays and low end floyds on custom axes by anyone.....

I´m thinking more the direction of Fenix, Yester, Cheri /Chevy, Westone and such..... mid to high end korean import...

i'm glad some of you seem to like it. i love guitars with spot on intonation and low actions. this has both. what d'ya mean low end floyd? cheek! lol. could you tell me what MoTO inlay means? (hope not a dull question)

Re: Identify my guitar, please someone

MoTO = "Mother of TOilet Seat", aka pearloid / Fake pearl

Low end Floyd = not an Original Floyd Rosee (aka. OFR), nor a Schaller, Gotoh, Ibanez Edge or other high quality licensed copy. Not necessarily "bad", but not top of the line either
