Teisco / Silvertone TRE-100 (aka TRE-1) Amp in Guitar ca. 1964
The TRE-100 came in three different headstock styles: the point (early 1964), the stub nose (late 1964-65), and the hook (late 1965). This guitar is an example of the first model offered in early 1964. The body is a very dark brown metal flake with around 4-5 bumps on the front and about the same on the back (no buckle rash). The gold foil pickup is missing one pole screw but this has no influence on the sound. The built in amplifier works and runs on two 9 volt batteries. The battery cover on the back is a replacement. The three piece neck is virtually dent free and has a trussrod. The rosewood fretboard has signature Teisco sidebar position markers. The open back tuners operate smoothly. Inspired by his friends Ry Cooder and David Lindley, Jackson Browne used a TRE-100 on tour although he didn’t rely on the onboard amplifier for sound reinforcement. Give the TRE-100 a try, you’ll like it. Period non-original hard case included.
