[Product Details]

TEISCO SM-2L Teisco Bizarre Guitar Electric Guitar Made in Japan As-Is

[Features]

The TEISCO SM-2L is a characterful bizarre guitar from 1960s Japan, offering a distinctive presence typical of that era.

It combines a sharp modified double-cutaway solid body with a metal pickguard, open-gear tuning pegs, and a unique tremolo unit—features not found on modern models. Whether as a stage or photo prop that makes an impression, or as part of a collection and display piece, this is a vintage guitar with undeniable appeal.

The look created by two single-coil pickups and slide switches exemplifies Teisco's retro-futuristic aesthetic. Combined with simple volume and tone controls, you can fully experience the design sensibility and character unique to Japanese guitars of that era. This model appeals both to those seeking a Made in Japan vintage bizarre guitar and those wanting to build around an idiosyncratic foundation.

The truss rod is fully released in the loosening direction, and the neck exhibits back-bow. Therefore, we do not guarantee playable condition and are offering this as an as-is item. We ask that this item go to someone who understands its condition and the characteristics of vintage instruments.
