It looks like a custom made instrument and there are more pegs then strings... Could be that they changed the original neck of this instrument. 100% it's not a standard guitar-lute (I have a similar instrument but with a standard neck and I think it was made somewhere in Hungarian-Austrian area). --- On Sun, 7/15/12, howard posner <howardpos...@ca.rr.com> wrote:
