Teisco ET-230 Shark Fin ca. 1966
$ 659.00
This is the two-pickup version of the "shark fin" style in a blue metallic finish with an anodized aluminum pickguard with stripes. It features a roller bridge, two single-coil pickups, a "zero" fret at the nut, and a spring-loaded tremolo (missing the bar but an exact reproduction is available for $30). Each pickup has its own on/off switch, along with separate volume and tone controls. There is also a separate rhythm/solo switch. All the electronics work properly. The open-gear tuners work fine, though a bit stiff in some places. The maple neck is straight with a rosewood fretboard and the frets have plenty of life left. The back of the neck has several dents but only one has resulted in paint loss. The body has a hand cut German carve around the periphery. There are several paint chips and bumps in the body mostly along the edges. The worst chip is on the edge of the lower bout near the output jack (see pictures). The back has no buckle rash although it does have a few scattered dents. Period chipboard case included.
