Teisco EV-52T - MIJ - 1968

1968 Japanese made Teisco EV-52T.
This guitar is pretty rare, it was one of the top of the line Teisco guitars from this period. Blending vintage aesthetics with modern performance, the Teisco EV-52T stands out both visually and sonically. 
 
Apparently only around 500 have ever been made.
 
Teisco are renowned for making some of the most unique looking guitars of the 60s.
 
 Powered by two 9V batteries and by flicking the battery switch on as well as the circuit switch from normal to effect you can enable the four tone colour faders. The sound of this guitar is just insane, especially in the effect mode. It barks with serious gusto.
