1960's Teisco ET-200 in Original Redburst—a rare, collector-grade vintage guitar discovered in exceptional condition. Since arriving at Clarke Strings & Sound, this single-owner instrument has undergone meticulous cleaning, restoration, and setup. Frets have been carefully re-seated and leveled, a polished bone nut installed for enhanced sustain and intonation, and the electronics thoroughly cleaned and tested. It features a NOS Teisco ET-series tremolo arm with a gentle, non-permanent modification to secure it in place without harming originality.
Cosmetic condition is impressive for its age, showing only light wear such as minor dents, scratches, and some finish chips on the body, along with minor scuffs on the neck and bridge cover. Excellent playability with low action and comfortable feel:
