I did a google and bing image compare search against the bridge since it is such a unique looking design. I didn't get any matches but I did get to see a TON of unique bridge designs.
Also saw your ebay listing.

Thiat's a tough one. There isn't a whole lot on the label to use in an internet search. Where did you get it from. It was only made 6 years ago, it coulnd't have changed hands too many times. Did the previous owner tell you anything about it? Have you posted this question on other guitar/guitar making fora? There are plenty out there, maybe someone will recognize the name. |

Put an inspection mirror inside the box, and look for any other text - maybe a signature, materials, hopefully a city and state. Alex |

I got it from a dealer in Alabama who said it was traded in by a professional musician, which makes sense as it is pretty and has excellent action and tone. He did not remember who the guy was, and the store has changed hands since I bought it. I have put the info on Danny Raders facebook page but no luck yet. otherDoc |

I wondered if you thought it was Danny Rader, but the initials on the label don't seem like DR to me. I wonder if he has a family member that builds? |

Hmm, If Danny Rader had a family member who makes guitars would he be trading in #8 at a music store? I would think that he would keep it. It could be a case of another (unrelated) Rader giving an early guitar to a local pro in hopes of getting exposure. Though if that were the case I would have expected more info on the label. . . Who knows. |

Thanks for the ideas. I think the initials are TR, but not sure. otherDoc Edit: I did the suggested look with a mirror but other than seeing the Fishman stuff inside there are no other markings. Curiouser and curiouser? |

Well I just found out that the "FBG" on the label does not stand for "Froggy Bottom Guitar". No luck there! otherDoc |
