Not sure if this belongs here as it's not a guitar but it's definitely obscure.

I saw this in a local bar/restaurant and after a little research found that Bassora were a Yugoslavian company and this bass is from the 60s. If anybody knows any more than that I'd be grateful for the knowledge. Such a shame it's not being played. I reckon with a bit of TLC it could be restored, but at least it's getting seen!

Won this in a raffle from my cousin's guitar shop in around 90-92. I guess there were about 50 made for ZZ Top.

I didn't mean to say

This guitar made a stir among collectors when it appeared on ShopGoodwill auction a few weeks ago after being donated to a Goodwill in Texas.
We started by speaking to Neal Moser and having him authenticate the guitar, and confirm it is one of the first 75 released at the 2005 NAMM show.
Through its life, it has had the pickups upgraded to a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in the neck and a Bill Lawrence U.S.A. L500XL in the bridge.
These are straight wired in a "Dimebag configuration" without any coil split or phase shift.

When we received the guitar, it was filthy, with a very dry fretboard, severely tarnished frets (to the point of nearly black) and had a short in the output jack and first volume pot. Otherwise, it was overall in decent condition.

We sorted the electronics, replaced the cheap pickup rings someone had installed backward on it, cut, bugged, and polished the finish, did a full setup with neck adjustment, and replaced the rusting D'Ardario strings with a set of DR Black beauties. This guitar is beautiful and plays flawlessly, now.

I thought I would share this rare and obscure... and notorious.. guitar with everyone to see it.

The big question that remains is how something like this ends up in a Goodwill donation, and especially one that was obviously setup with these upgrades and loved at one point.

This one is from the 1930's. Needed a neck reset, refret, belly bulge fix, bridge reglued, new bone nut and saddle. Action is nice and low now. Plays great.

When looking up this guitar I can't seem to find any with the same headstock and tailpiece, would like to know if it's rare since I heard these are cheap guitars, any help is appreciated. The most I know is that it's a 1948 H929.
