Valco-made for sure. The general design and especially the pickup are a dead giveaway. Most of the ones that I've seen that looked like that were branded Airline, which was a Montgomery Ward brand name for guitars and amps. But I believe Doug's also has no brand name.
Great sounding guitars. I have a little MOTS (Mother-Of-Toilet-Seat) Supro that is basically the same guitar with different cosmetics and brand name. |

| It's an Airline from about 1954. In the '60s, there was a similar model with two knobs (no 7222); I'm not sure if this earlier version had the same number. |

Now you got the same one as Doug, that was the easy part, now you have to make it sound like Doug's.
