A friend of mine picked up this odd, cello-shaped guitar at a local pawn shop. It has a round neck, but looks like it was originally set up to be a lap guitar. The only marking is the large "B" on the peg head.
Has anybody ever seen anything like this?

I have a message in to my friend, Bill Bonanzinga, who is an acoustic guitar builder in Bay Shore, NY......that "B" looks like it could be his......as soon as I hear from him, I'll post back.......

Looks like someone grafted a guitar neck onto a budget level cello.

John were you able to check it out yourself? Pretty odd, any word on the sound?
