Rescued and Upgraded Teisco Kent Hybrid Semi-hollow Guitar 1970s Sunburst
This beauty is another example of Triage Guitar Shop of West Palm Beach Florida saving a vintage abused or abandoned classic instrument from extinction.
This Teisco Kent Hybrid Semi-hollow guitar was an empty husk in reasonable cosmetic condition with just minor dings and a few fine scratches. Otherwise, it was missing everything.
Its a unique combo of a Kent Americana neck with a Kent 335 body, but somehow it works out better than either model.
The following list details the actions taken to bring this classic back to its Glory Days and to restore and enhance its playability.
Cleaned and touched up body
Checked neck for straightness
Polished frets with 0000 steel wool and leveled as needed
Treated fingerboard to restore moisture
Procured vintage Tremolo and new Vintage style adjustable height bridge
Disassembled, replaced and rewired electronics on vintage control panel.
Installed Custom pickguard
Installed Vintage/Kluson Style 6 inline tuners on headstock
Installed new Black Wilkinson Dogear P90 pickups
Installed Ernie Ball Super Slinky (.009-.042) strings
Adjusted neck angle and bridge height for proper clearance and action
Tested all notes for clarity and buzz and remedied any issues found.
This Classic Combo is ready for any sounds you love to play!
