That's cool, I'm assuming it's a hollow body too.

Yep.It's not mine. They guy I bought my Fernandes Strat from is selling it. He wants $600 for it.It's a guitar made at the United Code factory in NYC in the mid 50s. Most were branded either Stewart or Orpheum but they might have been made under other names too(Premier?). Her are photos of some other guitars made at the United Code Factory:

Bo played his in 1955 and 1956.

Love the "stinger" headstock. Gibson would do that if they had visible imperfections in wood or finishes on guitars before they left the factory, or large filled areas.

But then they just started getting sloppy.
