He added that the pickup is a Schaller from end of 50s, beginning of 60s like the ones mounted on other german guitars of this period like Hoyer, Hoefner, Framus, Klira, Hopf, etc...

Now I neet to see what doesn't work in it as it doesn't make any sound... How do I know if the pickup is ok or not?

This guitar makes for a great little detective story. And we have lots of queries like these on this Forum. It just crossed my mind, a win-win strategy we might consider...
Vintage Guitar Magazine functions as sort of a switchboard for the network of vintage nuts like us, from hobbyists to international dealers.
I wonder if the editors would appreciate us sending queries like this to them once in a while. They publish articles about the discovery of esoteric old axes and might enjoy and even use some of our finds. And they might be able to help us out by filling in some details hobbyists like us would never discover on our own.
Just a thought...

Here is my last barn sale find.
It's a slim guitar with absolutely no inscription on it, not even béhind the pickup.
During a concert, I noticed a guitar which looked quite close in the materials and build quality. The guitarist told me it was a Kay or Rex Guitar made by Gretsch. Maybe this is one too?
Maybe it's just a non professional built, but I would like to know the period when it was built.
Any idea?
Thanks!
