Finished in cherry red with a bound rosewood board and pearloid block inlays, it’s a visually striking piece that still feels solid and resonant in the hands, sitting comfortably at 3.4kg. Equipped with a super fun Bigsby-style tremolo, this Teisco SG oozes vintage mojo and character. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"845\" data-start=\"440\"\u003eThe neck features a 24.75\" scale length with a medium C profile, offering a familiar, easy-playing feel without being overly slim or chunky. It’s finished in gloss polyurethane, paired with a 9.5\" radius fingerboard and a 43mm plastic nut width. The 22 medium nickel silver frets provide a smooth playing surface, with enough room for both chord work and lead runs typical of the era’s SG-inspired design. Fret life is solid here at about 70% with no pitting or heavy wear marks present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1266\" data-start=\"847\"\u003eElectronics are handled by a set of 2 x Maxon humbuckers, delivering a surprisingly versatile output range for a guitar of this type. Giving a mix of lower-output clarity and slightly hotter bridge bite, they cover everything from warm, rounded cleans to more aggressive mid-forward tones, with a distinctly vintage Japanese voicing. Controls are standard SG-style here with dual volume and tone with a 3-way selector switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1745\" data-start=\"1593\"\u003eCondition is good for its age, showing typical cosmetic wear consistent with a 1970s instrument, but structurally sound and fully functional throughout. A real character piece with plenty of wear and tear present, this is a no-nonsense Japanese SG copy that punches well above its weight. Professionally setup and serviced with 10-46s, it's playing nicely with a smooth action and intonation. Ready to rock for another 50 years!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1793\" data-start=\"1781\"\u003eMake: Teisco\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1815\" data-start=\"1795\"\u003eModel: SG (Exact Model Unknown)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1842\" data-start=\"1817\"\u003eOrigin: Japan, Kawai Factory, Early 1970s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1858\" data-start=\"1844\"\u003eBody: Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1871\" data-start=\"1860\"\u003eNeck: Maple\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1908\" data-start=\"1873\"\u003eFingerboard: Bound Rosewood w\/ Pearloid Block Inlays\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1957\" data-start=\"1910\"\u003ePickups: 2 x Maxon Humbuckers, Neck: 5.6kOhms, Middle: 2.8kOhms, Bridge: 5.8kOhms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2047\" data-start=\"1959\"\u003eNeck Profile: 24.75\" Scale, Medium C Profile, Gloss Polyurethane Finish, 9.5\" Radius, 43mm Nut Width (Plastic)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2078\" data-start=\"2049\"\u003eFrets: 22 Medium Nickel Silver Frets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2117\" data-start=\"2080\"\u003eFinish: Cherry Red\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2140\" data-start=\"2119\"\u003eWeight: 3.4kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Returns:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDomestic AU Shipping (Insured) - $Free\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternational Shipping (Insured) - $199.99\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocal Pickup\/Click \u0026amp; Collect - 135 New Canterbury Road, Lewisham 2049\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe item is sold as is - if it is broken or damaged on arrival, we will offer you a return\/refund.
