Anyone ever heard of The Hawaiana? There's one for sale in Germany:

Or - schnitzel, schnitzel, schnitzel - oh poor b0b, asking a straight forward question. Some people and their warped minds to keep us amused.

Headstock and tuner buttons suggest the same factory as Klira and related German brands of the 50s and 60s. Kind of the Harmony of Deutschland.

German manufacturers may have produced a lot of strange guitars - but this one was made in Austria. The green label says "Made by A. Hasslwanter, Innsbruck".

b0b, you're right. I've never seen one like it on this side of the Pond. I wonder what kind of bracing it has. Looks like it's using a nut riser, and is a round-neck???

Yeah, but they have their own language,,,, somebody said,,,,,......

Bier - Austrian for beer.

In all seriousness, the seller emailed me hoping to learn more about this guitar, and perhaps find a buyer. It would be nice if we could stay on topic.
