<p>I know it's technically not a Japanese make, but I have also refurbished a vintage Kay K-300 that had been a wall hanger that was covered in layers of house paint.…</p>

<p>Fantastic find!</p>
<p>They can be rehabbed into useful guitars. About 15 years ago I snagged a Global (rebranded Harmony) at a storage unit auction. It had been hanging on the wall in a seaside bar for years and was a real mess. I cleaned it up and replaced the corroded electronics and tuners. Now it's my favorite slide guitar.</p>

<p>Yes, this post is coming a little late to the party, but I've only sorted through a few of these guitars, I still have a long ways to go. I only yesterday learned that CBN has a Teisco Group.</p>

<p>For example, the Sekova Bass (#11) was extensively termite damaged, but the tuners, pickups, and hardware were usable. The Generic "Ibanez" Bass (#14) had a serviceable neck, and so I built a Mashup Custom Bass. <a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306515811?profile=original"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306515811?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="721"></a></p>

<p>Yea, the condition is heartbreaking. But, I look at the Automobile collectors out there. Look at the horrid, rusted out, rat infested junkers that they pull out of barns and scrap yards to build beautiful Custom Hot Rods. I see these as great opportunities to customize and "Rat Rod" a vintage Teisco designed guitar that would otherwise be unthinkable with a guitar in better condition. Imagine the possibilities for one-of-a-kind builds. </p>
