I think I read that if I guess the model correctly, I get it:
It's a "Symfonia Grand".
...from 1962.
...from April.

Ok, ok. The guitar pictured is a '62 Symfonia Grand. Like a Ryder, Electro or Contessa it was built along side of regular Rickenbackers. This is only the secong that I've seen. I asked JH about them and he searched and uncovered a small batch in the logs. For pics of one that has not een stripped, go here:

So, I've never heard of Symfonia guitars before. Where can I learn more about them?

leftybass: Nope, all I have is the body. I do have some parts that I can use for it though.
Indytone: Unfortunately, there is no information on them. Nowhere, nada, zip.
Paulv63: I need to get in touch with Dale.
Stan: I think that JH found a run of at least 50 instruments. Thats all that is known at the present.
