The bellzouki was an invention of Vincent Bell - a top session guitarist in the fifties and sixties in the USA. He played on hit records such as ''Walk on by'', ''Can't take my eyes off you'' and ''Hello Dolly'' amd many more. He invented this twelve string instrument in 1961 and this has a single ''lipstick'' pickup - he also made a two pickup model with a different body shape - models 7010 and 7020.
