Teisco six-string bass followed an unusual body shape that was used on one of their guitars. Teisco also produced a six-string bass called TB-64 (or ET-320) in 1964, similar to the Fender Bass VI which was itself an uncommon instrument. TG-64 (guitar version of TB-64 played by Conor Oberst) This is one of the reasons these guitars became popular again during the 90s among many noise artists as a cheaper alternative for the Fender Jaguar or Jazzmaster, which were beginning to attract collector interest. When the strings are attacked behind the bridge, a 3rd bridge sound is created. Many Teisco guitars had a primitive tailed bridge in their extended tail bridges with limited timbre when used in an extended technique. The light weight of this guitar is a bonus to the sonic attributes. He talked the manager into a trade, took the guitar home, rebuilt it and has played it on stage ever since. He has played Teisco guitars since childhood and just before joining Peter Noone in 2001 found this one from the Teisco 1964 line screwed to the wall at a Guitar Center as junk art. I was thinking that if only he'd be willing to go as low as 4000 SEK (569$, 464€) then it'd be a no-brainer.Singer, songwriter Vance Brescia, guitarist and music director for Herman’s Hermits Starring Peter Noone and frequent guest musician with The Monkees, Micky Dolenz and other artists plays a Teisco Del Rey EP-8 model. My question is, what is one of these puppies worth? The seller has presented me with a price that seems fair (4950 SEK, 703$, 575€), especially considering that guitars like these never show up in Scandinavia otherwise. It still has the Teisco-symbol on the headstock, the vibrato arm and the string mute. The finished is damaged and a bit cracked in some places, but nothing that looks too bad to me. Quite a bit, but due to the seller, it plays nicely and will do so for a few more years. The seller posted a video demo where the guitar sounds nice and stays in tune well. I'd really prefer the 4-pickup one, but basically it's the same guitar. Point being, there's one for sale fairly close to me. However, I soon discovered Jaguars and Jazzmasters. They are like the steampunk version of a Fender Jaguar from space! I saw one in the "Rocket" video by Smashing Pumpkins when I was just learning that Les Paul was not a brandname but a model, and its quirkyness blew me away like nothing guitar-related had up until that point. Let me first say - I adore the look of these.
