Hound Dog Taylor / Kawai inspired box style swamp witch guitar .
Vintage 4 red pearloid pups are from a donor kawai , I wired it in a special way to enhance the front pickup and hush grounding the daisy chain to get a half piezo / microphonic and half mag pick up sound to emulate steel resos , yet have that vintage Teisco sound also .
(actually discovered this sound by accident years ago attempting to fix an old Teisco )
Hard to hear in this recording with the effects , but it has that metal ring and picks up wood tapping , etc..like a tru cone reso and similar to a piezo , but still held at bay when wanted . and if you crank it , that vintage loud Teisco moan and scream noisy in your face yumyums will be unleashed .
I am in love with this thing , but , I made it to sell , so have at it . first $400 takes it .

Vintage Carved wood top box comes with old key to open .
Bridge is the piece of the carved box frame I cut out for the neck .

Back for a close listen.   You know I love the pickups you normally use.   These are sure good.   Different, but excellent.
