yup , its all TIN .. neck too ;-)
this little tin gem was made by a subdivision of teisco for sears in the 60’s , as a more affordable guitar for kids. Just an Acoustic tin guitar made to look electric with fake pickups etc .. .
as you can tell , i “ jerry rigged” it and added some attitude and electrified it .
.... i may never go back to cbgs now .. lol .
This thing is 20 pounds of fun in a 5 pound bag ;-)
Sorry My recording set up sucks , it sounds much better live . ;-)
i'll probably do some tweeking and swap out the strings etc .. later .. this was just a taste test ;-)
hope ya like it ;-)

thanx guys .. these all tin guitars are getting hard to find , and pretty pricy on ebay .
Great little thing - Heavy metal !!
Toys R us !!!! wicked find
wolf / sheeps clothing kinda thing ;-)
nice sound to that wee tonemonster...
i'm having a blast with this thing . ;-)
Cool stuff, Pick. I did not know that history on the tin gits and fake electrics.
I must have a tin ear ...
this one still works great as a slide .. but does have that lil kink in the neck that you see on most of them ., from overtightening . its superisingly heavy too .. think there is a metal bar reinforcement inside .. its a hoot anyway . ;-)
imagine my grin when i cranked the distortion ;-)
Ya, these are cool little guitars. Unfortunately, like you noticed they did not survive too well. Those hollow metal necks just could not take the strain. Enjoy.
