electricized: Hound Dog Taylor 1915-1975Flesh, Bones, tons of soul From a guitarist point of view, having six fingers on your left hand is not a malformation, it’s a gift. Hound Dog taylor was definitely gifted. He has pulled more bewildering slide blues and raw boogie than anyone ever did out of a Teisco. Hear him play “Wild about you Baby”

electricized: Teisco Vamper EV52-T. Apparently from the Vamper series, here is another 60s japanese cheapo with crazy looks and active electronics. The style is obviously borrowed from Mosrites, with a slight touch of Darth Vader… And according to Tym from Tymsguitar, “the neck is AWESOME”.

electricized: Teisco Guyatone Star GT-70 With their chunky neck and high action, Teisco Japanese guitars from the late 50s might not be qualifying as the not most playable guitars. Yet, their killer looks is enough of a reason for anyone to make room in their collection.This rare GT-70 stands out by featuring a set neck,and, according to Retrofret, “More playable than many would expect”.
