Teisco Del Rey Guitars

I used to have one of these when I was a teenager with the same ugly pickguard, hated it. When I finally got a better guitar I did a Jimi Hendrix on it…

Now I see they want $299 for one on ebay but theirs is in a lot better shape and has the beatup original box.

I think mine was more like this one…

I hated working on them. And they sounded shitty too, the electronics were cheesy. If Dylan hadn’t got into a fetish playing them on stage in the seventies, they’d all be in landfills by now.

Normally I wouldn’t destroy any guitar but it was that bad.

I had one of those, what a piece of shit it was, it’s hard to believe that people are now romanticizing them

That pick guard is really terrible looking.
