"Barn Find" Vintage Teisco Hoard!

Ted Crocker tells me that CBN has a Teisco group, and that I need to share pictures of my Hoard with you folks. So, here I am.... Anonymous Pick, we need to talk.

Recently, a friend of mine, that is an auctioneer at the local farmer's market calls me all excited and tells me that I need to grab some cash and get to his auction A.S.A.P.

Well, I know this guy is not the excitable kind, so of course I jumped into the truck and went to see what all the excitement was about.

Well, here it is.... an incredible hoarder stash of vintage 60's Teisco Guitars. In all their grungy, rusty goodness. I managed to get the entire stash.

I will be taking a few days to post everything, and yes they are in rough shape... but, still well worth the effort to rescue them.
