This guitar was made by Teisco somewhere in the seventies, I believe. It is a hollow body with 2 f holes and 2 humbuckers. There is a three way selector switch on the bottom side of the guitar, and it also has a tremelo system. There are indivual tone and volume knobs for each pickup. The best feature is the near flawless paint job. This thirty year old guitar still looks new. The tuners also work excellent.
Sound

This guitar sound excellent. It has a nice mellow tone with great sustain. It is perfect for everything from Phish to strait jazz or rock and roll. I am running it through a marshall MG30RCD with an EQ and a Blues driver and it sound wonderfull. It even sounds better through my friends all-tube Fender Deluxe 112. The bridge pickup gives a nice twangy sound while the neck pickup gives it a beautifull beefy clean tone. One of the best guitars i've ever heard.
Action, Fit, & Finish

This guitar is built very solidly. Like i said it's 30 years old and still feels very well built. The only adjustment I needed to make was getting the neck reset wich only cost 20 bucks and made the guitar play amazingly. The action is so wonderful now it almost plays itself.

I think this guitar could definately withstand live playing but always take backup. All the hardware is still in great condition and solid. This guitar is built very well.
