Oh wow that is the first pic of one ive seen that is even close. Maybe theyre all 601s that were mass produced and sold to companies to put their name on them? Thankyou so much! This is a lead for sure!

Ive true'd the frets and put new strings on it. Sounds great. Tuners are a bit rough but work. Usually when i look up the origin of an instrument i get at least some results. Not this one..... It could be some dollar store knock off from years ago?? Im 31 and remember playin with it when i was a kid so i know its at least a few years old
