Looks like a Jay Turser to me:
http://www.jayturser.com/products/acoustics/jt-res.php  [edit] the bass in your pic is also a Jay Turser [\edit] [edit2] I'm an idiot... looked at the wrong guitar  The guitar you asked about looks to be a Mosrite Last edited by sinofian : 11-06-2012 at 11:02 AM. |

Note the correction above. It's either a Mosrite or a copy of one. Specifically the 'Ventures' model. |

Furthermore, it appears that the guitar in the OP has been modified with a white pickguard (normally, a white one would have had a 'tortoise shell' or black pickguard) and humbuckers instead of P90s. This is how they normally look:

Lastly, to the OP:
If you're looking for a current production version of the Mosrite Ventures guitar, it appears that Eastwood is making one called the Sidejack:  |

It's a bit uniqe choise for this kind of music...seems like the humbuckers works good, i expected for this kind of guitar a very thin sound |

It's a Univox Hi-Flier Phase 3, made between 1974 and 1978.
 These days, Eastwood makes a replica of the Phase 4 model, which is basically the same but with a fixed tailpiece rather than a tremolo http://www.eastwoodguitars.com/GTRs...-phase4_frm.htm

Richmond (a Godin Subsidiary) has their own take on the design, with or without a Bigsby:

Good call! I completely forgot about those! Quote:
Hard to say... they really could be just about anything. That said, given the age of the instrument and the fact that the pickups coils are cream-colored, I'd guess DiMarzio. |
