Hi George,

Your guitar is the Framus Sorento 12 produced in the mid 1960's. If you can find anything on the label that looks something like "65B" you can determine the exact date it was produced. The number is the year and the letter is the month (January = A, etc.)

Here's a picture of one that shows some of the parts your is missing:
