mojoworking Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I spotted this picture on the back of a country music compilation CD today. Sitting casually on bonnet/hood of his E-Type Jaguar is Australian DJ/shock jock and sometime country singer John Laws. I'd say the picture dates from the mid/late 60s. But what about that guitar he's playing? It looks like real J-200 except for the headstock, which is all wrong. It's probably too early for a Japanese copy and way too early for a counterfeit. So what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojoworking Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Looks like a framus headstock. Or national Good call. I did a bit of Googling and although I couldn't find the exact one, the headstock shape is indeed very similar to a generic 60s Framus. We can only wonder what happened to the J-200 leaving it with a cheap German guitar headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
