Looks a lot like an Ovation Breadwinner.

I recognize the headstock as Ovation, but I would never have gotten that one from the rest of it! Gotta' get up early to beat Bill, The Guitar One.  :)

Another of the Charles Kaman-era Ovation products.  That shape was that it worked as well standing and strapped as it did sitting down with it across one leg.

I want the bass version but I remember it being quite heavy; mind you I was a teen at the time who wasn't playing bass then so I could be wrong...it was a sizable slab of mahogany though...
