I've read reports that Roger designed the Fender 12 string "hockey head" & the semis Coranado series?
A friend of mine has a 67-68 sunburst Coranado 12 string with the hockey stick head. Nice guitar but no sustain due to the bolt on neck......!

Didn't the Kinks use one?

I found
http://jazzgitarren.k-server.org/roger.html a good read/view with regards to Rossmeisl. Nice pictures of the "Roger" guitars I.M.H.O..

Doubt that the hockey head was his design. It has so little character...
Ray Davies used a Fender acoustic on many of their late '60s and early '70s videos. Whether the Kinks ever recorded with one is open for debate.

Just think of all of the great music that was made on the instruments Rossmeisl designed. In my opinion, he deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Leo Fender, Ted McCarty and Les Paul. Hopefully, one day that will happen.
