Thanks for the welcome. This thing is so dirty, I think it still has dust from the 60's. I'll check out that site. Have a good day.

Comment by JIm Trussler on July 4, 2012 at 4:59am

Gary, Nice guitar. I have a buddy looking for one like that but with 2 pick-ups. Its nice to see that the single pick-up version is out there. He had one many years ago and was badged as a GEMTONE.

A great source of Teisco info is TeiscoTwangers online. Welcome to the group!

Thanks Anonymous pick. The tobacco sunburst one has has sustain thats unbelievable. It spent along time in open G till I built my first CBG. Market here is about the same. I dont feel so bad as a buddy of mine if after Beltones....

I think I am going to build a couple of whammy bars for them as there missing.
