Roger electric hollowbody guitar (possibly a 56 "club")

[Tinklesqueek]

hello to everyone whom peruses this thread!

I have a query (a few, actually!) regarding a roger electric guitar that was discovered when going through my now late uncles property.

Evidently it's a roger and i think i've narrowed it down to being a 56 "club" g I was wondering whether anyone with far superior knowledge than myself would be able to confirm this?















Furthermore..... i was wondering whether anyone knows of any wiring diagrams for it....... when taking the full plat and back off to mod a female connector from the hardwired existing setup, quite a lot of the wiring had become brittle over the decades of it being propped between a wardrobe and a wall g to which quite a few wires detached etc.

I know i could follow a 2 pickup 4 pot 3 way toggle diagram and split the three way to the two individual switches the setup uses but any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to anyone whos reads this and responds!

The proper name for it is a "Model 54" and it was introduced in ... 1954. These usually came as shown, with a 2-pickup assembly provided by FUMA in Berlin. A few single (neck) pickup examples were made as well. Laminated flat top and back plates, hollow with some supporting struts and blocks (like a Gertsch Duojet), with all the electric components mounted to the exterior of the guitar. They are lovely, rare and highly functional.

Nice find ! Looks to be in good condition. At a glance there is only 1 tuner button missing and the intonation of the bridge is "interesting".
