Teisco on the wall...

Well mrblanche, I think most everyone agrees that Teisco's strong suite was looks, and playability was an after thought. This certainly qualifies them as worthy wallhangers.

On the positive side I would say many of them have both cool looks and interesting single coil pickups.

On the downside, they frequently have poor action (correctable), intonation issues (sometimes correctable) and go out of tune (not correctable if you want to keep them original).

I find them most suited to recording where the tuning issue isn't as pronounced as playing live. When I'm not recording with them, I like to hang them on the wall. As you have observed, they do make great studio decoration.

oh, man... here's one that hurts...

here in Jersey, at a joint up in Westfield called Crossroads... walk in, go past the bar and make a right... sit down at the bar, order yourself a pint. When its served, be sure to hold your hand over it as you look up to see a white Hagstrom II (sans pickups) mounted above your head.

My only hope is that those pickups went to a good home!!! haha...

oh, man... it hurts to see one of my favorite guitars up on a wall...

(but it doesn't hurt so much considering what an awesome place crossroads is!)
