I go for zero, based on the available evidence so far!!

Bruce,

You were correct. However, the conditions of the test have been modified. Please deposit $200 (if you pass go) and try again.

 

[By-Tor]

In a haste I see 51 or 54 (the thing in the lower right just above the Aria back end) strings.
Makes that I can identify are:
Padulla
MTD
MM
Rob Allen
Warrior
Gibson
Aria (early to mid 80's)
Ken Smith
Can't identify the purple bass and the red bass in the middle with the black headstock.

50 strings it is. The bottom I am pretty sure is an Electra(or Westone), though it could be an Aria. And the archtop is a Gibson or Epiphone.

The unknown 4 string looks like one of the many cheapo brands from the late 60's. Could be a Teisco, a Del Rey, a Kingston, a St George, an Arbiter or any of a couple of dozen other brands.
