Does any of you guys provide some info about this Fender Lap steel? The logo seems to be non-original, but the guitar seems according to owner to be sturdy and well built like a Fender. Any Ideas?

You can see on the front of the guitar where the original logo was located.  |

Someone is either trying to commit a fraud, or they want the audience or other players to believe that they are playing a Fender. In either case they haven't done a very convincing job of it if you can see the marks from the Guyatone label. 
A frequent deception is to put a Fender logo on a Squier Stratocaster of Telecaster. That's usually because the player doesn't want to admit that he can't afford the real thing. But at least Squiers are made by Fender.  |

| Definitely not a Fender but not necessarily a Guyatone either. These were made in Japan under a few other names (Bruno for one). Hard to tell without the logo. Never usually see the single neck version. Where did you find this one? |

This one belongs to my friend Peter den Hartogh.
Unfortunately I know nothing about this guitar, but Peter asked me to put these pics on the forum for comparison.
With "Spaghetti" Logo.

| Other than the finish, the instrument looks identical, but the Goya label is smaller. Looking at the original, the mark on the woodwork is exactly the size and shape of a Guyatone logo. I still think it's a Guyatone. |
