Re: "Super" Bouzouki. But who makes it.
A while ago, there were instruments showing up on eBay that were evidently Asian-made clones of Ovation's Adamas line, with the same soundholes with "leaves" around them, etc. I tried a quick eBay search, but didn't find any now. This looks like a clone of an Ovation mandocello, strung like an octave mandolin. Here's a closed Reverb listing of a similar instrument, which was selling then for $139. It was described as "Korean made."
That would be my guess as to this instrument's origin. "Super" as a brand of instruments is almost un-searchable, but I'd guess if you could find a list of Asian nameplates, you'd find it attributed to an Asian distributor, or at least a distributor of imported Asian instruments.
