Location: Phoenix AZ | Kaman GTX was a different guitar. This one on ebay looks like a bad use of too many left over pots. Dave |

Location: Evansville,IN | From what I could decipher, it is like a Framus, but they aren't sure of what it is. It has 2 seperate volume controls, 2 seperate tone controls, and a blending pot of some sort, with a pickup switch, and it's a 12 string. Looks to be made good from the pics. My high school German isn't that good when it comes to technical phrases. :D |

Location: closely held secret | Hahaha. If you take the item number and search on ebay us it translates it somewhat.
The first line of the description reads "noname semi akustic Blues/Jazz guitar no Gibson". |

Location: Evansville,IN | German technical terms aren't my strong point, but I did get the same as you about it not being a Gibson.
They had mentioned it being similar to a Framus, but that it didn't have any markings on the head stock. May have came from some small maker, and someone removed their name from it. :) |
