Teisco Thin-line Semi-hollow 1960s-70s - Red Burst Gloss Guitar w/Dogear P90 pickups

This Teisco guitar is another example of Triage Guitar Shop of West Palm Beach Florida saving a vintage classic guitar from extinction.

The semi-hollow beauty started its return journey as an empty body and compatible teisco neck.

The list below details the actions taken to return this classic to its former glory and playability:

Cleaned body and installed trapeze tailpiece and strap buttons

Cut relief holes in top to accommodate 2 dogear P90 pickups. Installed foam spacers to elevate pickups.

Installed and wired full size volume and tone pots and a .022 uf orange drop tone capacitor onto existing original control panel and installed new slide switches for pickup selection.

Cleaned and fret leveled neck to eliminate dead notes and any fret buzz. (Good with normal playing, can't guarantee for more aggressive styles).

Joined neck and body using vintage MIJ neckplate and chrome mounting screws.

Mounted and finished wiring P90 pickups to rest of electronics with shielded wire.

Grounded trapeze tailpiece.

Relic'd and installed Vintage Style tuning machines.

Installed arch top compatible intonatable bridge.

Installed new set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky (.009-.042) strings.

Tested electronics

Checked neck relief and string height at nut

Tuned to pitch and set intonation and set string action to low

Played every note repeatedly to ensure no dead notes or fret buzz under normal playing.

Separate custom pickguard included.

This Thin-line Light weight Semi-hollow Beauty is ready for a Comeback!
