I was wondering if anybody had an idea on the maker of this Paul Beuscher that just sold on eBay- I thought it was rather refined work, but perhaps not a typical DiMauro, as the seller suggested in the advert. That label certainly looks a little older than some other Paul Beuscher labels.

The body shape, soundhole decoration and neck heel shape all appear to be Castelluccia, certainly nothing Di Mauro about it at all. I have a few Di Mauros and a Castelluccia and they are very different. But, this one has some extra features; the three-piece neck and the fingerboard decoration strips would suggest it was a fancier 'deluxe' version maybe? Possibly designed for a request from Beuscher?
