Looks like a Washburn or American Conservatory.

Quite an ornate model; I love the carved flower in the back of the neck. Without knowing its playability, the $350 price -- with a usable soft-shell case -- doesn't seem exorbitant.

I have a feeling that the floral carving on the neck was custom art not done by the factory or maker.
