Comment by Paul Craig on September 6, 2015 at 7:41pm: Glad to join the group. Love the old MIJ guitars. Mine is a 60's Encore Casino/ES 339 sized clone. My oldest brother bought it new and gave it to me in 79. Had large single coil pups that squealed like a stuck pig. The neck was broke by my daughter knocking it over when she was 3. Put a new neck on it, new wiring, electronics and mini humbuckers hooked to a stereo jack. Other side goes to 2 piezo's under the bridge.DSCF3611.JPG

Comment by Where's Uranus? on July 17, 2015 at 11:26am: Anyone know someone doing a hex style pickup, ie, where each pole is it's own wound bobbin, and it would be possible to take each strings signal individually?

Comment by the anonymous pick on July 10, 2015 at 11:52am: yeah berzdez has good stuff . but , better to buy alot , because they add tax and flat box rate shipping . always " request total " to get them to combine shipping .

sorry i couldnt help ya on the neck .

Comment by JIm Trussler on July 10, 2015 at 11:36am: Checked it out. it looks good but it looks to be a full scale tele style neck. I am looking for a short scale neck like whats on the Tulip. Nice stuff though. I was intrigued by the pickups for one of my upcoming projects....
Thanks for the tip!

Comment by the anonymous pick on July 10, 2015 at 11:19am: hey jim .. if you are willing to do some work on it , these lil necks from bezdez are handy , cheap , and in canada .

Comment by JIm Trussler on July 10, 2015 at 10:53am: Where do I find a short scale replacement neck similiar to the neck on the Teisco tulip? Looking for a new neck not an original. its for another project.
