BeeTone - which factory?

[musical5]

I just picked up a BeeTone. Looks just like a Teisco. Who made these?


Thanks,
Justin

One thing that is different than my last Teisco. This has a square neck. I have not seen that before.

Never heard of those,so I looked on the net. Found only one reference on another forum asking if anyone knew anything about them. No info at all,but there's a couple of pictures of one.Don't know if yours is the same,but this one looks more like a ZenOn made guitar. Maybe someone here will know something.Very obscure brand!

[musical5]

Similar ,but 6 on 1 side (missing one key and peg) Sounds pretty damn good though.

[Spud1950]

Actually to me,they appear to be quite different. Yours definitely looks like a Kawai or Teisco made guitar. What are you referring to by "a square neck"?

[musical5]

The neck is not round or a "V" its squared. Am I explaining it all right? I have never picked up any guitar with a squared neck. It's kind of cool.

[Spud1950]

OK,got it. That's interesting. Can you post a picture of the back of the neck?

Hey Fellas.

I've done some poking around in Bizarre Guitars of the 60s and found musical5's guitar. Unfortunately, they don't know who made it either.



Also found a cousin to the BeeTone model you found Spud. Unfortunately, same story on identifying the builder.

That 1st pic is indeed mine. Here is the square neck. I'm not sure you can tell but it is square. Thanks for the help guys.
