Post by Casey Renish »

Can't recall the brand name on this. Just thought it was cool. Anyone recognize it?

It appears to be a "Magnatone" triple neck console guitar. I'm sure someone else can identify the model.

Awesome axe Casey. is it yours?
I have one identical to it. It seems the one in your pic is missing the wood tuner covers....were they in the case somewhere?
These guitars sound great-

Didn't Bud Tutmarc play one of these? Bud really produced some great music, and was a friend of some of Hawaii's great guitarists back when.

BUD TUTMARC seldom, (if ever), strayed from the standard 6 string C#m tuning. In the years I knew him, he always played his own home-built guitars, never venturing to 8 string or multi-neck instruments. Bud gained much of his guitar building experience from his dad, Paul sr. His playing style was influenced (also taught to him) by the legendary SOL HO'OPI'I.
