Anybody know what guitar this is?

Hi all.

Saw this guitar on a local TV show. I'm wondering if anyone knows which brand and what model it is?




It looks like a Gibson (I know it's not) Les Paul Hollow body with a Bigsby. I can't make out the logo on the headstock.

Washburn?

Rene, I saw that on Rockwiz the other night and wondered the exact same thing! I know James Black does have a Gretsch so not sure what the deal is with this one. I'll be interested to see if anyone knows it!

"That's an Ibanez Artcore," said the pale, shivering Cheesehead smugly.

Hey, I'm excited...I don't usually know the answers to the guitar stuff. And I'm playing the time zones to my advantage - I don't think TV's up yet!

hmm,
no i don`t think it`s an Ibanez Artcore. Ibanez don´t use P90 PU and the axes have a diferent look.
It must be a Gibson clone (epiphone)

no, it isn't an artcore. That one is not as thick as the one on the picture. The selector is not in the spot and so on.

Not an Epiphone or an Ibanez. If you look closely at the headstock, the brand name is curved and it has a curved line under it. That ring any bells for anyone??

I went to the Rockwiz website and asked them the question. Hopefully I get a reply.

If anyone wants to see the guitar, heres the video from the show:

It doesn't look like Gibson on the headstock to me.

Vanessa Amorosi. Brett, here's her website:

Ah, you guys are right. The worst part is I bragged about it....

I'm kind of not giving up on the Ibanez, though. The headstock sure looks like it to me. (Edit: Oh, I give up...the name isn't curved on an Ibanez.)

I didn't catch the Bigsby on the first picture, nor the sharp horn on the cutaway. Hmm. that is an unusual guitar!

I found a headstock pic which seems to match the guitar:



Seems like the guitar is a copy of either a ES-175 or ES-295. Either way, it's a nice looking guitar. This of course is all yet to be confirmed.
