i got one in a car boot sale a few months back, i've only taken time to look closely today.
i figure its a flemenco type guitar, but i'm not even sure about that.
its a traditional classical shaped body but where the confusion starts is the bridge. its sorta like a mandolin bridge, and you cant put nylon strings on it. the only writing on it is 'sevilla' written in cursive on the body. googling sevilla brings up a company who look like they make similar guitars but not steel strung instruments. so i'm guessing it was some sort of weird knock off company. any suggestions as to who made it would be welcomed. photo's later on.
anyways, the action is a shade off 10mm on the 12th, so i think its destined to be my lap steel.
