Knutsen Harp Guitar
This instrument has a severely angled bridge for the sub-basses, much like HGS49. The headstock is very hard to make out, but seems closest to the 2a row. The scale may also be shorter than standard. Pictured on a postcard from the John Doan collection (see Historical Photos for full image).
