What's this guitar? Elwood or Dev might know...
I caught a glimpse of this in a Cardigans video (YES, YOU HEARD ME RIGHT!) and just had to know. I want this thing so bad (except as a bass), it's not even funny. Guesses? Bueller? Bueller?
I'm more like a mids-ist than a bassist.

Looks an awful lot like these Vox Mando Guitars:

I vote something Italian....
Edit: Doh!
Should have went Teisco first--see below....

DING DING DING DING!!!
I think we may have a winner, folks.
Man, I love that thing. Totally ridonkulous. Gonna have to integrate that into the custom bass I've been working on forever...

Re: What's this guitar? Elwood or Dev might know...
Apparently, Eastwood did a limited run repro in their earlier days--maybe you could persuade Mike Robinson to do a bass run to go along with the Map Bass and Ampeg EUB repro.
Oh for anyone looking for a vintage 6 String May Queen--apparently they were also off-branded by Kawai after Kawai bought Teisco as the Apollo May Queen. Too bad they didn't do a cross-merch deal with Kay--I'd <3 to have a Kay May Queen.
Also, those Vox Mando Guitars make me wonder if that shape wasn't in the air somewhere else....

Happy hunting--I wouldn't mind rockin' something similar.
I'm gonna put the search on for one of those Vox Mando Guitars, though....
