![]() ![]() I will check the gauss on them and if needed run them through my magnetizer setup. I will take the pickups out and wax pot them, the micro phonics will make your ears bleed at volume. The polarity would have been done at the factory, as this guitar had never been opened up, the only thing was that someone had replaced the tone knob with a fender one, the pot was shot not the knob, i have sourced an original Teisco knob and pot ,and also the correct headstock badge apparently they were a polular thing to take off the guitar, plenty of Del Ray badged, not many of the plain ones. Its all original barring a tone knob (i have an original) and i havent played it for awhile its been in its case for years, ![]() To plug this in is to ignite a wildcat, its a cranky beast, so we get on well together I got this 1965 model from Japan about 2005, i believe it was a students guitar that sat in the cupboard for many many years, its in very good condition for 50yrs old, the rockers switches need a mod so they are a bit tighter. ![]() The sound is quite nice despite this, and this guitar could be a nice garage rocker with some TLC.Haha No that wasnt written by me, i dont have that much spare time, but i have done alot of research on Teiscos, and another of my passions, Watkins Rapiers. The switches seem to be malfunctioning, however, with one switch possibly being a tone switch and the other not working at all. Electronics are semi-functional, with both pickups passing tone and both knobs working but a little crackly. Frets are low but playable in the low positions. It will need a shim to fix the high action toward the 12th fret and higher. Neck is decently straight but has sunk quite a bit. Lots of bumps, dings, and scratches throughout, including on the back of the neck. Back of headstock has two screws in it as well, likely from the same repair. Repair is ugly but seems stable under finger pressure. Some cracks go into wood and appear to be a repaired break. Please read further for a full disclosure of the product's condition. Due to its condition, this item is presented as is. ![]()
