So basically, my dad found his real father after 59 years of searching, this weekend. We heard back from him after doing a Ancestry DNA back in August. He was born and still resides in Kentucky, USA!
The family sent me some pictures of him when he was younger. This is him on the right, playing a very cool looking guitar - seems it runs in the family!
Can anyone help me identify both guitars, especially the one on the right, please? It seems to have a fairly unique headstock.
Cheers!
(Typical of me thinking about guitars, amongst some fairly amazing news, like this! ha)
Comments
The flat-top is very plain, which makes it more likely to be a cheap American brand I think - the headstock shape is quite like (but not exactly) a Columbian.

or see the Hoyer below, scratchplate is a good match.
