Over the weekend we camped with some friends, one of them handed this to me and asked if I could make it playable.
Not sure what it is but the pick guard that came with it said Harmony, but I don't think the head stock looks right for a Harmony.
The back is nailed on with small finish nails or maybe their small metal tone bars, they are evenly spaced :o
It rattles when you shake it, looking inside there seems to be some spare pieces of wood floating around inside.
Now I have another winter project!

Looks like an early 40s gretsch.
