Hi, my name is Kalle Mattsson, for me the internet pretty much is gmail, facebook and Guitarz these days.
Today I came across this add on the Dutch version of ebay:
http://link.marktplaats.nl/425168240
The ad only says that the seller wants to know wether or not this is a valuable guitar, and that he doesn´t trust that is says Höfner on the headstock.
It does have some nice features, and I thought you might like to see it.Wow! That guitar certainly has a very interesting finish. I think the "seller" is right to be suspicious of the Höfner name on the headstock - it's not like any Höfner I've seen before. It looks more like an Egmond, which - given the location - would be quite feasible. Maybe an Egmond fitted with a Höfner neck?
All the best
Kalle
Does anyone else out there have any better information to offer?

Edit: Several people have suggested that it might be an Isana, a relation of this guitar perhaps.

I feel like I saw a similar guitar for sale in Portland Maine many years ago - at Rose Cottage Music - and I believe it was a Klira, from Germany. It had something weird, like a 5-pin output jack though, as opposed to a standard 1/4 inch jack.
ReplyDeleteThe headstock is very Egmond-ish though.

I think we did have an answer for this... before we lost all the comments recently. (Grrrrr...)
