What's Hot
RabsRabs Frets: 2602

I got this really interesting guitar in today..  Never seen one in the flesh.. I also didn't know it was a Teisco before I looked it up which means cheapo Japanese guitar.. So I wasn't quite sure what to expect..

And oh my..  What amazing condition its in, it looks like it could be just a few years old..  They didn't do any more recent re-issues of this did they? Which means from what I know of Teisco its a late 60s early 70s guitar which they used to sell in Woolworths for like £60   In saying that it looks way too new.. Ive been looking it up and it seems that there may have indeed been some reissues in the 90s but I cant find much info on them yet.  

Ive given it a brief check over..  Neck is fine even though those frets are tiny...  The electrics all seem original and also in good nick (but one place where I can see some age)...  The main issues are the tuners for which hes given me a new set too install and theres some major buzzing coming from somewhere around the bridge area but I couldn't see anything obvious (even though its a roller bridge which im always  a bit suspect of)... So I will need too check that out further once the strings are off.
