ID this guitar...

Did not even notice that, India still has a big goiter problem, they just recently started a huge campaign to get the salt producers to iodize their salt and to educate the public on iodine deficiency, it has apparently been working.

I was alluding to the fact that Fenton-Weill were furniture makers who took a have-a-go attitude to making guitars, in much the same way as I imagine the Indian guitar shop luthier(s) you mentioned did.

Aha- Fenton Weill weren't furniture makers, they started out making amps then got into guitars. They (and Vox, and Burns and perhaps Watkins too) did get the rough body shapes manufactured by furniture makers though, which might be what you're thinking of?.

Oh don't worry, the part of my brain where I retain useful day to day information is entirely filled with things like 'where obscure UK guitar makers sourced their wood from'
