60’s Unknown guitar maker ???

[Bilyeuu]

I have an acoustic guitar I’ve recently bought, I’ve done some research it looks like a 60’s EKO acoustic. The only markings on it is made in Italy on back of headstock and on tuners. The photos I’ve seen on the old EKO’s the tuners have a EKO logo on the tuners and a bolt on neck but mine does not have that and it has a set neck let me know what you guys think it is thanks.

Very clean but the saddle looks like it needs to be a little wider?

Might be a Crucianelli but I have never seen a pickguard like that on one.

Yeah I’m not really sure about it, it’s a little weird it has screw holes on it but none in the actual guitar, but it’s also not glued down right now

Yeah I thought about that but I’m still not sure I also haven’t seen on with this pickguard and I have seen them on the EKO ‘s so idk

It could be the screws are height adjustment screws. Similar to the Danelectro Convertible bridge

That sounds like it originally came with an adjustable height saddle on a 'floating' bridge.

Yeah it could be I definitely don’t have those screws though lol but it needs some work and I’ll figure all that out I’d like to figure out what this thing is but if not it doesn’t really matter.

Guitars with a tailpiece typically don't have the bridge glued to the top. The down force of string tension should hold it in place. The bridge is incomplete, since it has holes for height adjustment. The missing part is the bridge base, which contains the adjustment screws. This is a type of bridge most commonly used on archtop guitars, which typically have a taller bridge (3/4" or more). Flat tops generally don't have as much neck pitch, and have shorter bridges (1/2" or less).

**** I’m not sure where I’m going to get that, just don’t know what it looks like I have a few of these guitars I bought I think they’re the same way
