Is there a better pic of the headstock? Looks like some knockoff Gibson copy.

It screams 70's knockoff. Either a Japanese piece or maybe even an Italian Vox of some kind. Vox was my first impression.

I don't think it's a Vox. I think it's a lesser known Japanese brand like Kent, EKO, Greco, Univox, or something like that.

Yeah, you're probably right. Most of those Italian Vox's had anything but a strat looking headstock.


Hmmmmmmm....

nope... different f-holes, different knobs, and different bridge. Definately a knock of of the hagstrom though, very similar.
