I've finally built a proper electric cbg using a tiesco pick-up from a guitar I bought from a builder clearing out some old shop in Hull for £3 many many years ago.
Just messing around to see how it sounds.... very pleased with it.

I saw the girl of my dreams in the arms of some Scotsmen from Hull...

 

Very nice.  Those old Teisco pickups can make some great tone.  And the guitar looks great.
