looks like some kind of gretsch, but i can't seem to find out what it is.

the body looks kinda hofner, and the headstock shape is almost identical to hagström HIINs.

Re: what is this guitar??? do make say think video
Well I don't remember the name, but it was an american brand of the '70, some months ago guitarplayer made a review, it was famous because the Grand funk railroad guitar guy used one..it's weird, it has an alluminium neck that goes thru the hollow body, pick up are weird as well..I recall that there's also a model with a built-in fuzz...however it was mentioned as a poor designed guitar..there's something on the peghead angle/nut width that causes serious string popping at the nut..

It's a Martin

They're quite nice guitars from everything I've heard.

There's one of these in the store across town. It feels exactly like...
a Martin.
It's weird, honestly.
