Haven't seen this model before, anyone have any idea of manufacturer, or could it be homemade? That headstock seems like a lot of trouble to go to if it is homemade. Recognise the pickup? I'm intrigued as to what this, any guidance is much appreciated

Looks like a very well made home build.
Pickup looks like a truetone, those are highly regarded and I don’t believe they are made any longer! |

| She sure looks well thought out and well put together, the fret markers, the nice knobs/bridge, and thats before you get to the head |

I'm a proud owner of a Sonny guitar... that doesn't look like his work... and would be way far afield in UK.

It looks similar, but not exactly like Sonnie's. Nut is not the same and there is no Schobel.

It seems that daylight through the window has affected the focus, under exposing the details. Its like looking into the sun.

I’d venture that the light coming through the window here is interacting with some grime on the lens.
On photos taken with phones, thats often the culprit. Always good to give a quick wipe before taking pics  |

Yes, keyless guitars are not for the faint of heart... I've had established players with keyed steelguitars pay me to string up their guitars. I have a friend the has a Sierra S12 keyless, and it's been down for almost a year because he is unable to string it up properly. The benefits I believe are seen with the smaller size of gust and the sustain in the guitar seems better.... my opinion. String tension, per note, seems tighter as well.
