NeoConMan Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Wow. Yeah, way back in the 20th century there were little shops with luthiers making guitars on every corner. Same with pianos. Damned shame that history has claimed so many of them, and any production documentation as well. I dunno. Maybe call or email Gruhn's? I got nuthin'.... Good luck with it.

dem00n Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Found something! Its a website full of info of weird european guitars, theres a section for Italian guitars. http://www.fetishguitars.com/ I'm still looking for your brand. But this should help with a basic price idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tari Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 MUSICAL HOUSE, GIUSEPPE FUSCO, TREVISO, STRUMENTIED AND MUSICAL EDIZION, DISKS OF TUTTLE MARKS IT , This is the translation. I'm still looking for thr shop that made it. Is there anyway to maybe get a picture of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixr1984 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 If its Italian theres a good chance its an EKO. My father in law is a collector of them and would possibly be able to give me a good idea of what it is going for now depending on model. Best bet would be to post a picture of it.
