1965 Teisco Del Rey

I saw this guitar at Island Guitars when they were located on Ward in that second story little room, and fell in love with it.  It had a really cool vibe, and played decently.  The angle from the tailpiece to the bridge wasn't steep enough, so the string tension was lower.  I notice when the angle is low, it feels almost like you're playing a longer scale neck tuned to a lower pitch.

I think it was a Japanese made guitar, probably constructed of plywood.  It came from the early days of Japanese construction where they were branching out from copying guitars and making original designs.

I didn't use this guitar much, and later sold it to a guy on the internet.
