What is it?

I'm guessing it's a weird home brew with Electro-harp parts. The pedals as they are and the pickup where it is don't make sense to me. But what do I know? That doesn't look like a 1947 pickup to me.

Peter,
Looks like a Gibson electroharp. The pedals have been rearranged to be able to play left handed.The tuning keys are in the correct position, this model had the tuning keys, and the changer unit the way you see it. Picture if you will (if you are right handed) sitting with the pickup on the right under your picking hand, you would be in the right position, if the pedals were changed to opposite from where they are. The guitar looks correct except for the pedals.

The pickup looks like a humbucker which Gibson didn't start using until the mid-50's (definitely after-market).
