Dannyalcatraz Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Some poor guy on another board is trying to ID a European electric archtop guitar from the 60s, the only marking he can see is "Tuwel de Lusee". I've racked my brain (OW!) but came up with nothing. But the a again, I'm no guru. For those who ARE, though- ring any bells? Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

The Geoff Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 The headstock is very reminiscent of the old 'Echo' brand made in italy, the F-holes & the overall look is that of early Framus, but there were other similar-looking manufacturers in Germany in the 50's.

Dannyalcatraz Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Using The Geoff's suggestions, I did a little more looking and found some similar guitars, but not that exact guitar. I don't know if this is against board policy or not, but here's a link: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1523718 Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

Scott Fraser Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Headstock & pickups are VERY similar to my Framus Black Rose, but the Framus truss rod cover has a company logo on it. Might have been lost & replaced on this one. But the cat's eye sound holes are something mostly associated with Gretsch & Rickenbacker, & this is neither of those. I'm going with some early model Framus for now. Scott Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyalcatraz Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Somebody over there says it may be a Hopf that got modded. The picture he posted says he may have a point. Still, thanks, guys- the suggestions I got here got the ball there rolling again! Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

The Geoff Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I think the Hopf is a good call. G.
