CDN Teisco f/s

Barry or Frenchy - I noticed this today f/s in my town.

Teisco's were recently discussed... well, here's one:

I love these old Teisco... I have several of them... They are usually very cheap to buy and at times very original.... The guitars are not great players but I have had lots of success with the basses....

Are you asking for an opinion on this one...

I find the asking price high, not to bad of a condition and looks nice. Like most, missing the headstock badge... comes with gig bag, the original case are made of heavy cardboard with tolex over them.

Like I said, the guitars are not great players.... Nice wall candy....

P.

I'm not sure that I'd ever buy one, unless I was decorating a music room wall or a "period" style restaurant or sumpthin'. Teisco's are some of the wildest looking axes on the planet...but this one's strangely un-funky looking to me.

Sure, buy 'em and hang 'em on the wall, next to the lava lamp, the bean bag chair and the Dick Dale surfing LP's.

You got me curious.... I cant find the thread for this. Cant you put a link..

Thanks,

Go down about a third within the first post, and then there's some subsequent disc.

BTW I threw this ad up for the benefit of any CDN "locals" (used loosely... Canada is roughly the spatial equivalent of the former USSR) who might like this kind of thing.

I've got too many pokers in the fire to dally. I'm still hunting down my first Paduak <drool> or Pantera <hen's teeth around these parts> or second Vantage. And so on.

Gotta say, I love that 4/2 headstock. And I've seen a Teisco used in a live setting that sounded great.
