Another coolissima Teisco

guitarz.blogspot.com

With Teisco you have an endless pool of cool vintage guitars to discover! This one wears like usually no brand and was probably sold as a Kent or a Silvertone.

It has all the details we love so much in these 60s guitars, that strangely people who try in vain to innovate lately in the electric guitar field  (am I talking about the Firebird X? No, nobody talks about the Firebird X) are too dumb to take inspiration from: a twisted design, a unique trem, a strangely shaped control plate with big switches, a sharp scratch-plate on a round horn, vintage single coils, and the typical and superb Teisco headstock.

And of course the supremely elegant art nouveau sound hole.

EDIT: the model of this guitar is EP200.

1970s Japanese Commodore Bass

guitarz.blogspot.com:

This shortscale Japanese bass from the 1970s looks very familiar. Although it bears the Commodore brandname, it is virtually identical to instruments bearing the Epiphone and Dorodo names. Compare this to the Dorado guitar we looked at in May; a similar looking bass appears in the 1973 Dorado catalog (and on the cover too!).

Such a pity someone has amateurishly "re-finished" this example in black spray paint.
