Wow...that is an "odd duck" experiment!
I'm not so sure.... I don't know what it is, but it doesn't look like a fake to me. Could be...
Guild neck and parts on a different or totally modified guitar body...?

Are there more pictures?
Can't see how deep the body is, could be a modified CE-100D? In any case the trebble horn removed and the trebble side f-hole closed and a back panel added. All Guild in my opinion but modified afterwards. Parts date her to about 1966/1967. Would need to see the serial number on the headstock.

It's not the exact angle of both pictures, but the one thing with a difference is the distance from the f-hole to the pickup ring however, so that's a tough one now...

Yes, I agree - I probably should not have added "totally" in front of "modified" in my post above. That's not as much of a modification as I was asuming, although it still is extremely ugly! Filling in the f-holes is not a common mod!
Better access to the upper frets, I guess!

Or an accident on the cutaway that was "repaired" that way, or an owner who inherited it and wanted a "cooler" looking guitar.Better access to the upper frets, I guess!

No, that was the only one. And it's not a very good one, unfortunately.
This might belong in the "Hot Mess Mods" thread. Whatever it is, I sure don't like it!

That's not a CE100 - and you can't just "fill" an f-hole just like that, or four control holes. Guitar body looks longer than a capri too.
It's some kind of Frankenstein mutt I think, and a particularly ugly one at that!

I agree to the shape differences. But I disagree to "you can't fill holes"....Sure you can and that guitar was refinished in black if not re-topped.
The upper area is not that different if I lay the pickups and fretboard on each other.
Both pictures are not the same perspective, so the bass side not matching could be due to the different perspective. The trebble side with the removed cutaway is exactly how such "repair" would look like.
But still the f-hole does not match...
I can almost match a T-100D body if I tilt it to make the tailpieces the same length.
I any case without seeing more and better quality pictures that is getting into a fruitless discussion.
