    My son just bought this at a small music store in our town. He loves the sound and we have been trying to identify the brand of guitar. It does not have any labels or identifying marks. The tail piece has engraved "Made in Germany" and I think it is only identifying the tail piece. Does this look familiar to anyone?

      It might be a Hootenanny. http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/71552-blue-label-installed-into-casino/page__st__20 They are pretty rare, but check out the tailpiece and head stock on the one in the link. I'm still looking!

      Definitely the same tail piece. I have seen this tail piece on various vintage guitars and pretty sure it is made by Gotz (based on this example: http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-tailpiece-12-string-germany-136227370) but mine is "Made in Germany" not W. Germany. I compared the head stock and they are similar but not the same. This is hard work!

      Ahhh, but very rewarding when you find the answer!

      It is such a nice guitar--made the difference in the place of manufacture has to do with the date of production? Just guessing here...:)
