I recently bought this guitar. It appears to have a one-piece mahogany body with a thin maple veneer, ebony fingerboard with pearl inlays, nibs on the fingerboard binding, original Schaller tuners, and a Gibson-style truss rod. The neck is three-piece mahogany, and it has a 25 1/2 inch scale. The name Mueller is inlaid in the peghead. Someone suggested to me that the guitar looked a lot like a Hamer, and I found that a John Mueller worked for Hamer. Does anyone have any idea about who made this guitar? I bought it from someone in the Chicago area, and he said he got it at a local estate sale, so it could have been made in that area as well, though not necessarily. I've installed a set of Seymour Duncans in it since I took these pictures, and it's a killer player! Any information would be greatly appreciated!
