Thanks for sharing! I’ve had all kinds of guitars over the years but I’ve recently become a huge fan of these vintage 60’s teisco EP style hollow body guitars. Love it man!
Hard times makes a good strong character! Sorry to hear about your difficult times. I understand that well, since i too sold all my top shelf Fender and Rickenbacker guitars. I am now the proud owner of Squire, Ibanez and Takemine guitars. A man gotta do what he’s got to do sometimes. Great video and restoration of your guitars . Thanks!
Mine is alot similar..it's like u said alot alike but with a few differences. Mine has a wammy bar and only two knobs. Looks identical otherwise with a little difference on the backing of the neck.
These bodies were sold under different names. mine is a saturn. I fitted a Cort neck on it and some pickups i had lying around. Sounds great.. Superb body; very resonant. LOVE IT. A lot of Harmonys don't feel as good or play as good as this. I did NOT cut into it for the PUs. It was not cut out, only spring holes
Man, you have my sympathy! I too have been through the Divorce thing so I do understand, but I hate to hear you had to sell some of your favorite axes! I have my Dad's old 335 style Teisco and I'm looking to replace the pickups. Any advice of what to replace them with? I have a new Gibson figured and I love that tone! Man, it is so sweet I get why everyone says there is no substitute.
There was a Silvertone version of this guitar too, Had binding around neck. crap whammy bar. Had action on it, that was so pitiful, had to be a 1/4 inch off the fretboard, woulda been good for slide. was my 1st beginner guitar, built up finger strength on it. 2nd guitar only a few 6 months later was a 1968 Gretsch Blackhawk, that one was very playable, and had it for 5 years at least. the Gretsch was full hollowbody, think because it had Supertron pickups it helped with feedback issues and the Tuning Fork bridge helped with feedback, If you took it out, it made it unruly. I have had at least 6 strats, the 1971 was the best one. The 66 had to weak of pickups, they needed rewinding.
My sympathies for the hard times that you went through when this video was filmed, I hope things have improved for you. You sound like a very down-to-earth person who speaks from the heart. I have a few Japanese guitars and my experience with them are hit or miss. When it's a hit, they're amazing instruments. When it's a miss, they're low quality and feel like cheap plastic. I tried a Domino Rebel Californian and that was a miss sadly. Going to check out a Greco GR-974 in a few days. From the pictures it looks like it's much better than the Domino but we'll see.
@@hondaxl250k0 Same here. Mine has a very basic Strat style headstock though. Been trying to figure out what the heck it is my whole life (I'm now 54). I've inherited all of my grandpa's, uncles' and dad's old/vintage cheapo guitars/mandolins/banjos. I love them all and will NEVER get rid of any of them, but geez they take up a lot of space. Lol

I am Japanese

Got the same guitar.. what’s it worth?
Not a lot of these out there, what the market will bear, probably around $500, a little more with my upgrades.
@@LousReview cool. Got mine from grandpa. Got a solid body from dad. I’ll keep them for ever. I play them now n then for kicks.
@@hondaxl250k0 Sweet. Yea, I don't like to sell gear unless I HAVE to. And that's mucho sentimental.
