    My first thought is Oscar Schmidt. I don't know what others might suggest.

    Post a picture of the bowl from the back and side. Many of our expert bowlheads have been able to narrow things down a bit with those details. Everyone used butterfly and the other trim items were pretty standard items from jobbers. This one is just dressed up a bit.

    I'm still waiting for one of the bowl guys to pop out a catalog picture.

    A whole lot of makers used that open book headstock shape. The fact that Gibson can claim it to me is pretty laughable but they have.
