looks similar to the Schaller 456, or something Steinberger would make

Erlewine Lazer uses a Wine o Matic tuning bridge - headless guitar.

here is some info from: http://uniqueguitar.blogspot.com.au/...l-guitars.html

This is a cut and paste from that site:

The Lazer

I have often seen Johnny Winter photographed with an odd-looking guitar known as the Lazer guitar, which is created in the Steinberger style. Erlewine guitars also manufacture the Lazer.

As with the Chiquita, it too was originally made by Hondo guitars of Japan through the mid 1980’s, but currently manufactured and available through Erlewine Guitars.

The Lazer that Winters plays is a Hondo model.

What makes this guitar unique is that it has a full size neck with 24 frets. The body size, shape and bridge mounted tuners contribute to making this a travel size instrument. The locking tuners are oversized with thumbscrew mechanisms at the distal end and it is known as a Wine-O-Matic bridge.

Regular ball end strings can be used and locked into place on both ends to maintain tonality. The neck travels through the body for added sustain. The rosewood fretboard has white mother of pearl star position markers.

This instrument is longer than the Chiquita, but still less than a meter being only 31 inches from the top to bottom. The scale is 25.5 inches, which is similar to a Stratocaster. This guitar has a single coil pickup in the neck position and a humbucker in the bridge position. There are only two controls; one for volume and one for pickup selection. It weighs in at around six pounds.

Hondo discontinued both the Chiquita and the Lazer in 1985.

They can be found on eBay and through personal ads for between $250-300.

Erlewine Guitars continues to sell high quality hand-made versions of the Lazer and the Chiquita, but they are quite expensive, clocking in at over $600.

Kimball492, That bridge was made by Schaller but is no longer available by them. It is the Wine-o-matic but Schaller knows it as the Jerry Freed bridge. That picture you posted is one of mine.
