    i just picked up a guitar from a garage sale, and i cannot figure out what model it is. as far as i knew, carlo robelli only made acoustics and electric basses, but i cannot find an carlo robelli electric guitar online anywhere. the only writing on the guitar says “Carlo Robelli – New York – Established 1932”. i have also added along a picture. i would just like to know what type of guitar im playing. Thanks!

    p.s. my camera suxs so i did the best i could.

      I’ll sort out your imaging problems once I’ve had a kip, but just to let you know that Carlo Robelli definitely made electrics. I bought the neck from an 8-string electric bass, intending to build something with it. Carlo Robelli electrics were at the budget end of the market.
