Interesting story and cool looking guitars. The guy who designed the original Wurlitzer/Holmans left for the Kustom shop in another Kansas town.
#Wurlitzer organ model d 72 series
Wurlitzer went to Welson in Italy as a supplier of Wurlitzer-branded guitars, while the Holman concern went through a series of name and management changes. The arrangement was short-lived, however - possibly due to finish issues on the Holman products (the paint tended to peel off). Holman talked Wurlitzer into being his guitar making company's sold distributor. (The building is still there on 515 Main St.) No idea how many might have been made. They were actually made by a tiny factory in Neodesha, KS (US) called Holman-Woodell. My research suggests that these guitars are indeed fairly rare having been manufactured only between 19. The jazz setting sounds muted like when you turn the tone down on a pickup and the rock setting is bright and P-90 sounding. The guitar comes with two types of caps and that is were the tone difference comes from. I just thought I would drop you an e-mail. I am the seller on the Wurlitzer Gemini on Ebay. Update: The seller contacted me to explain the function of the Jazz / Rock switches: Hey, (See the album while it's still available for close-up pictures). Another nice touch is the Wurlitzer W on the Bigsby-style vibrato. except they look like single-coil pickups) and the pickups themselves are engraved with the legends Channel A and Channel B, I guess, in an effort to be user-friendly. Also, you can't really make it out in the above picture, but each pickup has a selector switch for Jazz / Rock settings (a coil tap perhaps?. I love the shape - all straight lines and points.
