I think there's something similar in Music Ground 'upstairs' in Leeds. Sort of a bit of Burns , a bit of Watkins Rapier , a bit of early Japan etc etc. Weird.

Bassassin Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Not a Teisco, in fact I don't think it's Oriental at all. 60s Eurotrash, in my opinion, possibly an Egmond or one of the more conservative Italian builders. I'll go & do a bit of diggin'. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the closest thing I've found, not identical but there's a family resemblance: [url="http://www.cheesyguitars.com/musima_v2.html"]http://www.cheesyguitars.com/musima_v2.html[/url] Although the more I think about it, the more I think I've seen that snot-scratchplated horror before - probably in a nightmare... :ph34r: [u][b]Edit[/b][/u]: Oh, OK - close, then - it's a Russky, not East German: [url="http://www.cheesyguitars.com/bas_kavkaz.html"]Ordjonikidze Kavkaz Bas[/url] J.
