Default Can you help me identify this guitar?

I stumbled on this guitar while looking for something else and took a screen shot. Now I can't find it again. Does anyone know what it is?

What a beauty. I spent the past five minutes Googling and doing an image search but nothing. First I thought it might be a Gretsch based on the fret markers but I checked the site and couldn't find it.

Looks like it could be a Fano

It does look somewhat familiar. I really like the looks of it.

There should be a way to do an image search on Google using the image that you have. I wasn’t able to do it on my iPhone.

Might be some small-maker custom - that's a spendy little intonatable wraparound bridge you don't see on lower-end stuff.

The pic was from Music Emporiums Facebook site. According to that site, the guitar is a Koll Duo Glide.

I right clicked the image which took me to Bing. A few more clicks to me to The Music Emporium. After scrolling down A LOT on their Facebook site, I found the match.

You found it! I did many Googles but couldn't come up with anything. Thanks for digging into this. Beautiful guitar.

Greg Koch does a video reviewing Koll guitars on YouTube. This particular model is shown for an instant in a passing shot, and it seems they make multiple Duo Glide designated models. As always Mr. Koch just annihilates every guitar he touches. They look like a competent builder of upscale guitars.

Whenever Greg Koch demos a guitar his playing puts me in a trance and makes me forget about the model he's playing. Amazing playing, unique style.

Joe Bonamassa sez in his recent documentary, refering to playing, “when you have nothing left to loose, thats when you are most dangerous”
And thats exactly the way Greg Koch plays all the time.
