the contours look like it..hmm.. it had some sort of bigsby type thing i think and the binding was real chunky..double ? i did't like it particularly but i'd never seen a guitar like that before. it's like gretsch meets a kramer meets a greco or something lol

Headstock looks the same shape but reversed.

Might be a custom shop First Act..

Going by the back plates, the switching is on the opposite side too.
No idea what it is.

The horns are alot straighter than on the Hagstrom, they look like wings. Body looks too small for the First Act Delia.

What band is it?

umm it's from over a month ago but i think iron age, a texan thrash metal band that is friends with rise & fall from ghent, they opened for those guys on their record release show in kortrijk. this show was unique as they are prolly splitting up..sad thing. but happy i got really fucked up in their moshpits then, and managed to take a pic, but then again, coulda been hessian this. i don't know. i go to bands, i know a few as friends but the ones i don't know personally i am too drunk and antisocial to know what the fuck they look like.

ok correction, not iron age, it's a ghent band called rise and fall.
i know a few in amen ra, hitch, hessian, but that show i was really out of it, it was a 'special' shit day and got very out of it.

there's more pics on rise and fall's facebook page of the record release gig. but only the back of the guitar.
