With Teisco headstock badge) Great looking striped aluminum scratch plate guitar. One is a kill switch the other seems to be a boost off sorts. All the electronics work including the flip switches. The finish looks pretty good when you consider it's age. It's a good looking guitar with a few scratches and paint dings but nothing serious. Very snarly and has a really nice bite that in Posted withĦ0's Vintage TEISCO DEL REY E-120 Electric Guitar/ Made in Japan! Year: 1966-67(Circa) Manufacturer: Teisco Model: E-120 Del Ray Color: Sunburst Condition: Very Good with a few minor cosmetic issues Tuners: Vintage"Butter Bean" 4/2 The finish on this classic Teisco is a brown sunburst. Soundwise its what you woudl expect from this era Japan guitar. more It is playable up and down as well but you can tell the previous owner set it up for slide. Neck itself has some relief in it(there is no truss rod adjustment) and with the new taller nut it's more set up for slide with higher action. Frets are smaller profile and do show wear but still retain a playable profile. Has a really cool looking metal mirror finish pickguard.

There's one tone and one voume control and a slider switch labeled treble/solo. Has 2 pickups each with an on/off rocker switch. Electronics are a bit scratchy but all does work. The"B" and high"E" string plastic tuner bushings are missing. All aprts appear to be original except the nut which is a modern replacement. Guitar has its original red finish and sports a maple neck with bound rosewood fingerboard. You can call me strange, or weird, or odd, and you'll get no argument from me.PLEASE SCROLL BELOW DESCRIPTION FOR FULL-SIZE DETAILED PHOTOS Nifty made in Japan ca.1960's electric guitar. So, there mine are, distinctive, unusual, but not IMO strange. The shape isn't that unusual IMO, but the shape + the finish + the snakehead neck/headstock all give the guitar a distinctive look. The one hanging on the right is Bob's Challenger design, in his Orange Haze finish. Tele dimensions a/e with a distinctive bridge with UST and Fishman electronics. I call her "Aggie," because the top is Ash, the back is Mahogany (A + M = A&M = "Aggie"). Then the acoustic/electric hanging up on the left is also a Logan Custom, made in 2016. The one with a natural finish has no pickguard or control plate on the front, and the stainless steel straight plate like the BSB. The walnut stained one has Lawrence Keystone pickups with Lawrence's 5-way switch/wiring scheme. Then tele #s 4 & 5 are "Firecasters," made from lumber salvaged from our house fire. Third, BSB with a stainless steel straight plate and a 4-way switch (though that's not an obvious difference).

Second, the actual prototype of Bob Logan's "Logo" thinline, where the cutout on the lower bout approximates the cursive "L" of the Logan name on the headstock. First tele, solid mahogany body (weird for a tele style, maybe) with a P-90 neck pickup paired with a vintage style single coil bridge pickup. I'll start with the teles on the couch, from left to right. I've always said Breedlove's dreads look like the love child of a dread and a jumbo.) (Breedlove's dreads were bigger than Martin and other dreads, and the lower bout was more rounded, like a jumbo. Finally, the body shape of my Concert, though familiar now, is still distinctive, as is my Breedlove dread. My two are older MiK Breedloves, not Bedell-era MiC. Also, ever since that self-styled "old hippie" took over, the stylized script "B" logo on the headstock was changed, to spelling out the brand name. Of course, they both have that asymmetrical headstock, which is certainly distinctive, if not unique.

Still, I have two, and they're not typical in shape/size. But then some of the contenders I've seen in this thread don't strike me as weird or strange, either, and yet their respective owners listed them here, so.I guess I'll play.īreedlove acoustics might have been considered strange or weird back 25+ years ago, but I don't think so much now.

None are of a particularly odd shape or weird pickup configuration, or strange paint/finish job. I don't think of any of my guitars as strange or weird.
