Nice twist on the machine gun in a violin case.
I like the inprovised 'loop end' strings.

| It may not be pretty, but a 2X4 with strings, tuners, and a pickup isn't either, but it sounds pretty good!! |

| This would have been great for high school music students. Not easy to bang up yet plenty good for the basics. |

Nice find, Bas!
I'll bet it has a nice sound.
Are those tuner buttons ivory or bone?

It was obviously made for "looped end" strings. Like some Banjos and mandolins use. They may be dificult to find but I know they are still made.

| Interesting to see someone has been using the fretboard to play by numbers. |

That lovely Hawaiian lady sure makes that guitar more appealing.

This seems to be the answer to Buck Dilly's topic "An Interesting Idea."
Another idea is to get a "travel guitar", add a riser nut and put a pick-up on it. I have one of those that I pull out from time to time.

| Yeah, the gal is interesting, but the guy with his hands in his pockets looks suspicious -- those look like pretty deep pockets, what's he doing with his hands? |

Doug, yes I think it's the one, about a year ago, from ebay UK. It's mine, BTW, not Basil's... but thanks to Basil for posting the pics!
Here's a couple of more pictures of the beautiful lady:

| The one in the brochure has an angled peghead, which is different than the modern pictures. It is possible there was more than one model or maker for these things? |

I think the other Attache with similar case to this one was a student model. This one has a full fretboard. Do you have any info about Swanee? Regards, Lawrence |
