Does anyone know what guitar this is?
It looks like Epiphone hardware and knobs.
Thanks in advance!

| Nick, there were some Victor Electrola record players made in the 1930s. Do you suppose RCA might have made a few lap steels? |

| Looks like 30s era Ricky knobs on a rather cool and certainly rare 6er. |

Can you get a closer in photo of pickup, bridge and controls? Also backside.

I do not have access to the guitar. 
I do not know if the electronics work. The side view reveals that the back has a big thin cover plate.
The second image shows an output socket plate that looks like aftermarket work. |

That doesn't appear to be an American made lap steel to me. I have no idea who would have built it.

Not impossible. I happen to have an old Victrola Ukulele ! Label inside shows the dog listening to "His Master's Voice" (long horn attached to a machine) |
