Probably a DiMauro Hawaiian guitar. You can find an old thread on it here. Meant to be played on the lap. The tipoff are the reversed tuning machines. The guy that started this thread (Chris) had one at one time. Not sure if he still does. He was selling some off a while back on Reverb and doesn't frequent as much around here any longer.
Seems similar to this beauty, from my "Sonora" thread - this one labelled "Jose Sanchez". Chris and I, to different extents, both reckon there's a possible Jacobacci connection.
Does anyone have any ideas about this guitar? Has Busato vibes shape wise, kinda feels Dimauro like workmanship wise. The black binding is painted on but the rosette and purfling is real. It is lighter than air.

Here's an interesting guitar, just listed on Ebay. Nice D hole. Any clues?

And another interesting guitar (with an interesting price):

a Miroglio e Figli guitar made in Catania, southern Italy, it probably belongs more in the "Sicilian gypsy folk guitar" thread.

why not Busato ? 😎
Quality wise it does not feel like a Busato although I've only seen a few. It could be but I don't think so.

@AndyW You're right.
Nice one Paul! Looks great. How does it sound?!! Is it yours? Where did you get it?
