Is this a guitar? I'm not entirely sure. It certainly looks guitar-like. Although it's currently strung with just six strings, it
appears to be a
10-string guitar and the slots in the nut show that it would have had six courses as on a guitar but with first and second courses as single strings and the remaining four courses as paired strings. (The same stringing as the B.C. Rich Bich 10-string guitar!)
Of course nuts can be re-cut, bridges and tailpieces can be replaced, so we can't be certain if this would have been the original set-up. Does anyone out there know for sure?

Did you ever find out the name of this instrument? I'm curious to know. I'd also love to know where you saw it. I know it's probably too much to hope for seeing as this was now over a year ago, but I'd love to buy this and restore it if it happens to still be available.
