Greetings and thank you for checking out this 1999 Teisco May Queen MQ-56!
The guitar is in great shape, and I have listed as excellent as there is only one minor scratch on the back and the neck plate. Has this weird scratchy cosmetic thing going on that is totally minor, but necessary to mention.
The 1999 Teisco May Queen reissue was a Japan-made, Japanese-market revival of one of Teisco’s strangest late-’60s designs: a compact, semi-hollow, offset/bizarre guitar with a silhouette related to the Italian Eko Auriga family. It keeps the May Queen’s space-age pawn-shop charm but is generally considered more playable and better built than many originals. Typical examples are around 7 lb, with a comfortable C/D-ish neck, short-ish vintage feel, tremolo/vibrato tailpiece, two low-output pickups, and a jangly, hollow, mid-forward tone that can get garagey and growly when pushed. These 1999 reissues were apparently offered for only about a year and were not common outside Japan, though details vary by example; sources note that the reissue used pickups and bridge hardware different from the original 1960s May Queen.
