Looks like some sort of weird Kramer but there is no aluminum neck. There was another company that was doing a similar body style with wooden necks like that, I can't remember the brand though
Also, if you ever get to see Aluk Todolo live do it. Craziest show of my life in a kitchen down town in the middle of the night. Was one of the best experiences of my life

On first glance, it looks like it might be a Carl Thompson to me. Will investigate further.
EDIT: No, on second thought, it doesn't look like a Thompson, but I'll keep looking.

No problem! I searched on Flickr. I still haven't found the website though, I tried the first one that comes up on Google but I didn't see a similar model on the site

I think it's an older model.
There's this image from VintAxe:

This website calls it an "'81 Lado Falcon":

Interesting!!! I like the shape of it for sure. I wonder what all the controls are? Tone and volume for each pickup, 3 way toggle, phase for each and splitting for each? Tons of options!

ooooh that's interesting
I was gonna guess it was something from the late 70s/80s made in japan
but it's a handmade guitar from ontario? that's pretty cool

Crazy. I dig it. Also, I love ILF's collective super-sleuthing abilities with stuff like this. You guys rule.
