The Italian Job
This is apparently a very rare instrument, a Crucianelli, from the mid 60's (http://www.fetishguitars.com/html/crucianelli/triple/index.html). I can't even remember how I came to own it, but the first thing I did was tear it to pieces to renovate it (it wasn't playable) but haven't gotten around to it. I think someone that can give it the attention it deserves may be better off owning it....
