Bruce_09 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 It's a bit disappointing that there aren't any photos of the actual guitar you'd be getting. I think those images are just stock google search material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefferySmith Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Teisco and St. George were the Japanese turkeys of guitars in the mid-60's as I remember. $2,700 is only reasonable to someone who thought Yugos were really cool.

twofeets Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Note in the print that this is a *reissue* they are asking that kind of money for. Check this out - a former bandmate of mine has a REAL late 60's Spectrum 5 that was truly under-the-bed. Here's what he had to say about this baby: "Found in the middle of winter (last yr.) at a local flea mkt. 1968 Teisco Spectrum 5 .. Dead mint with original catalog, white leather strap (still in plastic) and 2 coil cords in the pocket and a letter from WMI (the distributor) stating that the value of the guitar is $400.00 (in 1968). The gator Fender style case is also in amazing as new condition. This guitar was an auction prize for local educational TV staton (NPR) in the 60's. Either never auctioned or won and put under a bed or closet. Geez in 68 I think $400.00 would get you a Strat ..right? Anyhoo I was supposed to sell it.........but every time I open the case ...I go ...naw...........you never know when you might want to get your Surf on!!"

philpm Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 If I remember from an old Teisco Del Rey column in Guitar Player from the late 80's, there was a warehouse somewhere in New Jersey that was full of brand new Stereo Spectrum 5's that had never been sold. I've wondered for years how many of those ever made it out. It is a cool looking guitar, but $2700 seems awfully steep for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
