yeah..ricks soundholes are flat on top...looks like a copy of the rickenbacker 790j jazz bo..a discontinued model..but the fret markers arent angled and the soundholes are rounded rather than flat.  will keep researching..lol...look hard inside the soundholes for anything written...lol

That looks like a copy of an old Gretsch.  The did the tear drop f holes like that on a couple of models.  It could be a Frankenstein.  But not too sure.  The headstock has me thrown.

The mother of toilet seat headstock overlay is a giveaway with no logo.  I'm thinking it is a off brand.  The tailpiece looks like one you would see on an old off brand.  The bridge looks like it is ebony from the pics.  Can you tell if the nut and saddle are bone or plastic?  If they are bone, it would lead in another direction.  Is the binding painted on or is it plastic.  If it is plastic how many ply is it,  i.e. Black white black white?  These are all things to gather worth.
