Ello , not sure if this is an offset guitar, but it looks more at home with other offsets . anyhow i brought her  few years back at a flee market for £20 and i haven't a clue what it is, so if anyone has any idea or info on it please tell.  what i do know is that it has  one volume knob, one tone knob  ( or possibly a noise reducer or something, because thats what it does ) and a on/off switch for each of  the two pick ups.

Doesn't appear to be an offset.  Looks like an optical illusion.  Just has a purposely unbalanced butt.

I've seen a few Teiscos that look similar, I have the link somewhere so I'll try to post it when I find it
