Teisco's top of the line model from 1967. Wood body, ebony fretboard. Split pickups sent out in stereo, each coil has a switch for left/right/mono. Wood body with German curves. Here's what it can sound like:


Ever since Eddie was seen with one of these, the price for a Spectrum 5 skyrocketed...

Thanks for sharing Shane. 1960s? Very progressive. Interesting tuner arrangement. Staggered split pick-ups! Switches to control pick-ups? Reso-glass body? I could see this being a rare bird to find. Enjoy.

Makes me wonder if he used this guitar on the recording or just as a visual prop for the video. Regardless, this is always the way. Just like Jimmy Page's Danelectro. It was a low end affordable instrument until... But your dream guitar is definitely a machine of many options. Very cool. I'll keep my eyes open.
Enjoy.

Keni - what do you think of this SS- maxwell resonator on eBay? Do you know much about them? I'm learning to play 4-string CBG with the help of your cd, but I'm shopping around for a 6-string res. I'm a little worried about buying a 1930's guitar, but this one looks interesting. WHat do you think?

Thank you Noisemaker for your comment. I am pretty sure it is not OS. The neck is a dead give away for me. Regardless, she does need a lot work, but if won cheap, she would make an excellent learning project and eventually a sweet little vintage instrument. Enjoy.

Thank you c#merle for sharing. Very nice. A real rewarding project. You are going to have to learn Scarborough Fair on this one. Fantastic if you are into the Renaissance period. Enjoy.
