Teisco 1960s Zen On Audition 2 pickup Vintage Guitar
This restored Vintage beauty is another effort by Triage Guitar Shop of West Palm Beach to save a discarded Teisco classic. The empty body and neck were the starting point for this restoration.
This is the third Audition that Triage has saved, but this one has a few twists from the original versions. The finicky rocker switches have been replaced by 3 slide switches on a chrome switch plate. The first two switches individually select the Neck and Bridge pickups. The third switch selects between Solo and Rhythm tone settings.
Solo lets you adjust the tone with the two tone controls. The Rhythm setting kicks in full resistance with the tone capacitor for max filtering of the harsher high tones. Rapid switching between these settings is made possible by this switch.
Two period correct "Toaster Slot" humbucker pickups add guts and versatility over typical single coil pickups
There was lots of work done to restore this neglected classic. The list begins below:
Body, which is in good shape, was cleaned and polished. Does exhibit finish checking consistent with an instrument of its age.
