Identification help needed

Recommended Posts

Hello y'all!

 

 

 

Thank you for the quick registration, I really appreciate the friendly and qualified posts I read.

 

I need help to identify this guitar. There is no serial nr. to be found anywhere, no paper sticker or anything at the inside.

 

 

 

It was bought used around 1975-77 in Germany. Round shoulders, plus size body so I assume it's a Texan.

 

Narrow saddle of 1 9/16 inches (39mm), scale 25.59 inches (650mm)

 

Mahogany neck and body, spruce top. Kluson Deluxe tuners, the back of the neck is covered with varnish.

 

Rounded pickguard without the e-logo, a bridge that is adjustable at only one side. Pickup under the bridge with plug in the strap pin.

 

Parallelogram abalone inlays with dots at the side.

 

 

 

On the body there is the sign GMS and close to the neck a 0.

 

Both are very clean under the varnish, so they probably have been there during the production and not put there later.

 

Can it be a prototype? Serial nr. zero?

 

 

 

Thank you already in advance, I'm looking forward to hear any hints or suggestions.

 

Greetings from frozen Germany
