Hi there, i'm new to this forum and just wondered if anyone could shed some light on my guitar! It has the same tuning pegs and fretboard as the J-1 on the link below but its a kind of dark brown and gold colour. It also has 2 big white piano type switches for the pickups and 4 rotary tone controls. it has a whammy bar and the starway badge is right on the end of the head. Its in reasonably good nick but has one of the tone nobs missing. It has a lovely tone and is great fun to play, with a mega wide neck! I'd love to post a pic but dont know how to get it on! Thanks all!

Without a picture of your guitar I can't say for sure what you have but I'm wondering if it looks anything like this?

I cant shed any light on this guitar but I can say I did own one when I was 12 years old. Sadly being 12 and very stupid the guitar ended up scratched, then twisted, then broken, then dumped ....

I am however, being much older and wiser, trying to track one down for purely nostalgia reasons ...

Hi Plank,

Don't feel guilty about you old Teisco, that was the life cycle of the majority of those guitars. I'm preparing to add 40 guitars or so to my For Sale page as soon as it warms up a bit. If you give me some specifics of what you are looking for I can let you know what I have. sb

It actually was one of the above ..... that very guitar ..... the problem was when I was that age I finally decided the nice vintage guitar look wasnt enough for me ... I was METAL .... so I stripped it down and painted it black ...... never really was the same after that ...
