teisco  put   gold foils   on  many  different  types  of guitars  ,   some  were added    for  shits and giggles  .  on    odd   models  when  ever  they  felt  like  it.

it  is said  that codder  likes  the  smaller   fatter  ones    (with the screw  poles     closer to  the side )  usually   found  on a  teisco  ss4l   .    some  say  they  sound better that the   thinner  longer  ones    (lol  usually   people selling  them  say that )    in my  opinion    the slim jims sound  just as sweet  .  not to  mention   regular vintage    teisco  pickups  all  have great tone  due to  their  age and  less  wraps  .

 

here's   my ss4l    where  i  replaced  a cooder   pup   with a slim  jim  in  the  front    , so  you  can tell  the  difference  .

 

but   be  warned  these  pickups sell  for  about  100 bucks each  on  ebay  .   buying  a whole guitar  may  work  out  better     price wise ,  if you  can   get a cheap  one  for   aorond100  with  2  goild foils  .

but   dont  try and   get an ss4l  ..   lol  it will cost you  a small fortune  .  ;-)

Thanks for the information.  I will keep looking for the right guitar or the right pickup on ebay.
