Wow. That must be from their "Freshman Shop Class" line of Zolotone sweeties...
Haven't seen elegance like that since they blew up the old shipping crate factory down the block...

I always knew Ohio was a little strange, but it never looked like that!

Looks more like a distorted, simplified Joizy.

Just to save the ebay pix...
what is that... a slab of formica? Must weigh a ton. And those strings look like they haven't been changed since day one.
One web site says: "Old Kraftsman was a brand name of the Spiegel catalog. Most of the guitars bearing this name were made by the Kay Musical Instrument Company in Chicago, which went out of business in 1968."
Here's a pix of a more reasonable looking Old Kraftsman from 1961:

The one on Ebay looks like they got halfway done cutting the body shape, decided to cut the headstock shape and accidentally cut half of it off. At that point, they decided to leave bad enough alone.

A friend of mine has one. It's a crazy guitar. It really is just like having a guitar made out of a kitchen counter top.
