Damn, Owen started me looking at guitars on Gumtree.

I'm dubious. The body is the wrong shape and the pickup/bridge look modern. Neck looks kosher though.

The bridge on my deceased (broken neck) Eko Cobra is that style. My immediate reaction was that the pickup was very Hoefner-shaped. The Cobra's is more soap-bar-ish.
Brandoni say they assemble them from old '60s stock - a bit like Fat Dawg/Subway guitars.

the "violin" shape, isn't very violinish. its kinda like the fat sister that violin doesn't talk to anymore, not since the botched surgery anyway.

Viol bodies* have sloping shoulders, it's more like that.
