    My guess is it's either a Danelectro or a (Sears) Silvertone.
    The "lipstick" pickups are a great clue.
    Varied resistance between 3,7k and 4,7k- Bright but a 100k potentiometer
    rounded off the highs avoiding that shrill and they were wired in series
    that gave a fuller sound...when both of them being used.

    I think the photo was probably taken in '61+ and Jimi
    around 19.

    Those were some great guitars for slide. Blues players loved them...Dickey Betts,
    Warren Hayes, Jimmy Page...

    I wish I knew! I think it's from the Base Rec Center or a PX picture

    Wow, your eyes are better than mine!  I can't even distinguish what kind of pickups are on the guitar...  But I like the design!

    He'll never amount to much of a guitar player, he even has it upside down.

    Yeah! He don't even have a strap so Billy has to help hold it up for him!
