What do you think this is, Auntie T ?

This is my first electric guitar. It was vintage when I bought it, and it took me a long time to trace it's manufacturer.
(sorry....the pic is rather small)

It looks like a Rickenbacker... but they also made similar models under different names for export... I have seen some with "Electro" on the truss rod cover. There were other names also... I think mail order catalog companies could order a few hundred at a time with whatever name they wanted on the truss rod cover...

What does yours say?

please NO more guitars, another gay drawing from your hard drive?

YES!!!!! you hit it right on the head!!
It is an Electro!!
I had a feeling you would get it.
Here is a pic of one in better detail. This one is not mine....not even the same crest body shape, but basically it is the sister model.
Well done Auntie T. My respect for you grows by the minute.

Not this time. You are rude and crude....but I do like your sense of humor.
Rock on amigo.

Oh...they also went by the name of "Ryder" I believe.
You really know your stuff. The very fact that you had a guitar that went to 11 is too cool for words.

Many thanks...

That's very kind of you! I enjoy your "pic of the day"... especially when it is a guitar!
