It's a Hohner guitar, made in Korea. It's an F1 mini-jumbo, with what seems to be a custom pickguard. Apparently George Gruhn did some design work for them back in the early '90's and had some input on these guitars.

Terrific work there reticence. Looks to be pretty much spot on. [emoji106][emoji1319]

Just to round this out, had a response from Jason Lytle today via IG. He confirmed a Hohner which he said he was surprised to find he liked when he tried it in the early Noughties, so bought it.

Had a nice little message exchange with him actually, his favourite seems to be his Martin 000-15 which he's had for a good while now.
