An Old Mystery Guitar


This is a very old guitar that has apparently been modified to have 10 strings. Unlike many of the existing 10 string guitars, this one does not have a fretboard or neck for the extra four strings. The extra strings were probably tuned to a particular chord. The pressure of the additional strings looks like it was too much for the extended bridge. From looking at the construction, I am guessing that the original guitar had six strings and that the extra piece on the headstock was added and an extended bridge added. Any more guesses out there about the origin or identity of this old guitar?
