The first model : " Custom " looks like a Magnatone to me
why i'd bet a a couple of pints, that it is one

[Tony Russell Davis]

Machines look like Fender style ashtrays, did Magnatone do those too?

[Basil Henriques]

The "Custom" is one of the non pedal range of "Custom Guitars" made by Lawrence McIver (with a little help from myself) in Bristol in the early '60's. There were also "Custom" Pedal steels based loosely on the Gibson EH-610..That I owned at the time. The one in the picture was modelled a little on the Fender Stringmaster Twin that I also had then. Also available with "Photo Electric pickups"..In 1963-64
