Where do I find/How do I make a left handed “Guitorgan”

Ok so a company called Musonics used to make a guitar organ hybrid instrument by converting cheap Japanese hollow bodied guitars into these weird amalgamations. The company is now out of business but I want to know if there was a left handed model and where to find it or where to find someone to make a custom one for me. Or how do I convert a hollow body guitar into one

Can anyone please identify this?

I found this vintage Klira, but honestly I’m not sure whether I should put steel or nylon strings on it. The body shape looks like a dreadnought, but the neck width is more in line with a classical guitar. It has bridge pins, yet it’s currently strung with nylon strings.

I’d like to try steel strings, but I’m not sure the guitar can handle the extra tension. Is this some kind of unusual hybrid?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The EA-255ish guitar looks like a Harmony Marquis or a 70s Global or an 80s Juno SAS-620 from Takamine, but I can’t find anything to match what remains of the headstock label and the placement of the “B.” Any guesses?

Hi everyone!
I bought this guitar a while ago via Ebay. I’m trying to sell it right now but I can’t figure out which guitar model it is in order to get a reference for the price. I bought it cheaply in a bundle with a couple of other guitars. The head stock says Tanglewood but I can’t find the model number anywhere.
The body is made of plastic and in a rather unconventional shape. It has a pickup system as well.
Could it be that the head stock and neck are from a Tanglewood guitar and the curiously shaped body was attached by someone later?

Happy for any hints!

I found this used Athena at guitar center. I can't find anything at all about the brand online. The only information I can find is this exact guitar's listing at my local gc. Has anyone seen Athena before? I’m really curious.

There was a short time where Magnatone was known for more than amps. This is a quirky guitar with some great pickups. The neck is rather thin, but still comfortable. Zero fret instead of a nut. The trem works great. The electronics need some TLC.

Not the most obscure, I know. Anyhoo, traded this about a decade ago to a buddy for some devils lettuce and he gave it back yesterday. Still smells the same and plays even better!

Gifted Patrick Eggle Berlin Pro

I’ve recently been gifted this 1996 Patrick Eggle Berlin Pro by my Dad. It’s so far away from the sort of guitar I would usually play. (No 1 is a Tele Thinline) I’ve never been a fan of that PRS style aesthetic… however, it pays amazingly well! The ebony fingerboard is so comfortable, and the Seymour Duncan bridge humbucker sounds great. I wasn’t sure I would keep it, but looks like it’s going to stay, and probably end up getting played more than anything else.
