I know I said I wanted my next update to be on the new instruments under construction but I got off my lazy butt and finished the 1964 Teisco rehab project. I had to re-wire the bridge pup's tone pot and add a cap which I added a Orange Drop 1mg. Very big I know but that is all I had instock but you know what, the neck pup has the same size for it and I am not sure but it may be original. So I did that and re-conteceted the grounds wire that was broken. The other part I fixed was the bridge. Some how the bridge insert got lost so I had to make a new one out of bone. It looks good because it matches the nut and binding of the guitar. Oh and most important the sound, WOW! This thing is killer and better than ever. As I said in my last post the bridge nails that country twang and has a killer surf tone as well. The neck pup, just turn down the tone knob and you have that killer warm, smooth and sweet jazz tone (my favorite setting)! I think I may just need to notch the low E string some more to lower it just a little for better action but all in all it is a great playing guitar. Since getting this guiatr from my Dad's, my poor Dano has just been sitting wishing to be played. Picture attached to show the new bridge mod. Until next time, Play On!
