This nasty stray dog f/s locally. Not that I'd want to buy it or anything (yeah of course not...) but WHAT IS IT?!
I seem to have it on the tip of my tongue.
I seem to remember that the great, sadly lost, Mr. Orang Goreng used to have one of these and restored it. It has a 4+2 headstock but not the typical Teisco one.
Thnx. Please make me be able to sleep again!

That is most likely a Soviet copy of the Teisco Spectrum 5. The pickups are a dead giveaway and if you look closer it has a bunch of small touches that are almost arts-and-crafts-y despite probably being manufactured in huge quantities in industrial settings. There seems to have been some kind of Japanese influence on Soviet guitar production as you'll find instruments with Motorik-lookalike vibratos et cetera. I guess maybe they made a point out of not aping American guitars too much.

I forgot the name of these but apparently they were mostly imported by a dutch guitar shop (or made just for them)
Cool design but quite poor quality

HsinMi seems to be the name, but no one on the Internet seems to remember where these were made...
Edit : ooh, maybe Taiwan
(there was a previous appearance on OSG, alack the pictures are gone)
