So I see this on Ebay... Looks a bit like an Oahu Tonemaster. The seller thinks it could be homemade, but I saw an almost identical one locally not too long ago.. (the only difference being the local one had BD in the diamond on the headstock)

It definitely looks like a copy of an Oahu-esque steel, but it wasn't made by either Kay or Valco.

Thanks for the information guys. When I saw the one locally I assumed it was a homemade job... but seeing one just like it on West coast makes me think maybe not..

What a weird collection of parts.. MIJ pickup.. Oahu bridge. Interesting.
