Comment by gregory lazorchak on March 21, 2015 at 9:47am: Anyone interested in a vintage audition (teisco) guitar with a goldfoil pickup from the 60's

Comment by Blind Lemon Cello on March 21, 2015 at 9:30am: OK guys & gals, got Kingston & gave it a quick cleaning & setup. Amazing tone from this low output pup, it is very loud & aggressive. I assume I can contribute some of that to the aluminum pick guard. You tap on it & it really carries thru the pup. It really channels quite a different tone then other axes thru different amps. On my Eppiphone Valve Jr. it is very bright, but on my Silverstone 1482 it is very warm & blusey. Does anyone by any chance have a pic of this axe in original form, or a model name? Thinking in terms of knobs & bridge replacement. Thanks in advance. BLC

Comment by Blind Lemon Cello on March 16, 2015 at 9:20am: Just scored this old Kingston & case on eBay. Needs 2 tuner bushings, knobs (have both items) & bridge. I will fab or grab one off eBay. What I like about this axe is that it is a set neck design, which is suppose to add to tone & sustain. Plus, the pup is low output (3K) so it should have a nice warm tone. And it's placement is very close to were a 24th fret (sweet spot) would be. I'll post some more pics once received & functional.

Comment by gregory lazorchak on March 13, 2015 at 6:35am: Hey guys im in nj and have a 1960's audition (teisco) 6 string electric guitar for sale. its in pretty good condition it has all of the dings and stuff you would expect from a 40+ year old guitar. It has won gold foil pickup which seems to be in the middle position with one tone anit kept the old ones just in case if the buyer wants but it kept the old ones just in case if the buyer wants them.

The arm is in the middle of the trem piece. I guess i have a better idea what im searching for. And the trem piece itself just slides back and forth alittle. Not certain how it comes off.
