Default Help Identifying a guitar???

Hi, I was hoping somebody out there might be about to read this Manufacturers name on the headstock for me, because I can't seem to figure out the logo? Does anybody know what guitar this is???

I would say it's possibly a custom Gibson with a lot's of inlay work and 1920-30's style headstock logo. The headstock shape looks typical Gibson but that doesn't look like the Gibson 'upside-down' style bridge or pickguard.

Good job - I can just make out the word 'Custom' on the truss rod cover too.

It looks like a Gibson songwriter deluxe custom.

Awesome...thanks so much...Yeah..I sorta thought at first that it looked like it might have said Gibson too..but then I said to myself, "No way", because I had never seen that model before, or maybe even really any of their customs with all those embellishment. i love the neck inlays and the abalone body binding and was certain it must be from a company i had never heard of before. Thanks for taking the time and helping me out. I really appreciate it!! thanks so much!!
