Hi again. Just picked up this cool little gem. No names, numbers or marks anywhere on the body or hardware. The pickguards are aluminum, the pickup housings appear to be plastic. Different sort of tremolo assembly with the spring in the middle. I saw a guitar with identical hardware assembly on a German site, but the fret markers and headstock were different.They said that one's a Silvertone. Any info at all would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Steve.

Hi Twinsdad,

In my experience those side bar inlays are always associated with Teisco. Judging from the shape of the headstock, I'd say the guitar was built around 1964.

Thanks. I found it. It's a 1965 Teisco Et-440.
