Well, while we're at it, does anybody know the name of this sweet thing?

Speaking of which.
Found this on ebay: Aria branded same shape. Pickups ain't right, but who knows - Kosta, the dude says he'll ship worldwide.

phantasmagorovich, yours looks like it's a Framus 9 string. Not sure of the model.

Here's a nice website: http://www.framus-vintage.de/

Thanks, you are right, it's a Framus Strato Melodie!

You're welcome.

Why do I get the feeling that we're playing "test the new guy"?

Yeah, phantasmagorovich, if any one of us is going to find one of those hanging on the wall of a guitar shop it'd probably be you. Given your location and all.

I wasn't aware we are. I just came across that Mutter video and thought I'd take advantage of the thread title before it's gone. It is amazing how much you know about vintage guitars though. Do you want to play test your knowledge? I've been looking for a pic - how about this one:

Not such a fan, I must confess. Too much SG in there for my taste. It's weird how the stripes make you think it's a neck-through construction but it's not. There's a close up of the part where the neck joins the body and it's clearly a set neck.

No shame in that, man! To each his own for sure. I think the TS-600's were neck-through. I love SG's so the pointy and the contours don't bug me. Thinking hard on this one....

Loving those red sisters you posted up there. Those pickups look Teisco / Kawai to me....

Have to agree on the look of the pickups, but that's the wrong island.

I was just kidding about being tested by you guys.

I was doing so well up until now too.

I haven't a clue. Those guitars are too obscure for me.

On a totally random note, I just came across this photo of Tom Cullinan playing a very similar looking guitar.
